The workspace is observed by an array of top-view cameras, which are used to localize the robot by means of a color-based marker detection technique. The system is accessible world-wide to the remote operator through any Internet-capable device via a web-based control interface. The web server responsible for coordinating the communication between system and operator is hosted on a cloud-based infrastructure online. The system was realized as a case study for the Agent Relation Charts (ARCs), a new model-driven design methodology for multi-agent cloud-based systems conceived at the Le2i laboratory in Le Creusot, France. {\^A}{\copyright} 2013 IEEE.}, keywords = {Development process; Humanoid robot; Marker detections; Model driven design; Target location; Tele-presence systems; Telepresence; Web-based control, Anthropomorphic robots; Cloud computing; Communication systems; Multi agent systems; Remote control, Visual communication}, url = {https://www.scopus.com/inward/record.uri?eid=2-s2.0-84880902673&doi=10.1109\%2fCSNT.2013.62&partnerID=40&md5=7dd7dfe910b41d66ddce07618695a0f5}, author = {Furler, L. and Nagrath, V. and Malik, A.
