The TeleMe version of the MantaroBot is designed to utilize an iPad, iPhone, or Android tablet as its control system. Essentially, the TeleMe is a mobile platform with a docking station. Once the tablet is docked, a Skype conference can be started directly through the tablet. As long as the tablet has access to a 3G network or a wireless network an off-site person will be able to dial in. In order to set up the robot, the on-site personnel merely need to dock the tablet and power up the robot. 
 
The controller which dials in is able to operate the mobile platform through an internet connection to the tablet. The operator is able to move the platform around as well as tilt the tablet to obtain different camera angles. This control is performed through the use of MantaroBot Controller software. This means that the operator doesn't require specialised controlling devices such as a joystick. The TeleMe is fitted with infrared optical transceivers that detect obstacles and steps which help the offsite person to avoid crashing the robot.
 
The TeleMe requires no supervision other than an initial power-up of the unit. On-site participants are able to communicate directly with the off-site user by utilizing the tablets built in camera and microphone. As a result, the TeleMe Robot is able to offer user-friendly conference calling capabilities with the additional advantage of motion control.
