Telepresence Robots | Review Rate Compare

How it works?

Telepresence Robotics is a field which has been created largely with the
intention of enabling people to connect more efficiently with others who are at
a distant location. Telepresence Robots function via an internet connection, which
makes connections with others generally simple and extremely convenient.
The Double by Double Robotics is a great example. Click here to check it out!

Pet Telepresence

One of the questions I was asked while Beaming at the recent RoboBusiness conference, was just how many consumer applications for telepresence there were. While most systems are primarily enterprise solutions and cost upwards of $10,000, there are a few like the Double, Swivl or Kubi, which are a little more down to earth for the average user. One area I had heard about, but never fully covered was applications for pets.

Beam and RoboBusiness 2013

Thanks to Suitable Technologies, I was able to navigate the Showcase floor using one of their Beam telepresence robots!It was a fantastic experience for both the Beam users and the conference attendees. There was even a two-hour session for Beams only, allowing us to roam freely without the crowds, which was a little tight at some points.

Oculus: give your netbook wheels

Looking for a great inexpensive way to develop your own telepresence robot. You should really check out Oculus from Xaxxon. This robot is an elegant offering that allows geeks of all abilities to play and explore robotics. The primary function is telepresence, however with some added sensors and software, you can quickly develop functionality not offered on any other telepresence robot. A fantastic option available for Oculus is RoboRealm’s™ vision software.
