Since the setting of the environment did not enable the operator and assistant to see and hear participants clearly, monitors and the video conferencing software developed by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. were used in both rooms to display the live interaction so that the operator and assistant could see and hear the conversation clearly (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). The situation of Pepper interacting with participants is presented in Figure 1.

Since the setting of the environment did not enable the operator and assistant to see and hear participants clearly, monitors and the video conferencing software developed by Zoom Video Communications, Inc. were used in both rooms to display the live interaction so that the operator and assistant could see and hear the conversation clearly (see Figure 1 and Figure 2). In order for participant conversational activities to operate accurately and appropriately, the operator could synchronize technologies involved in the methodology (Figure 2).
