Carl

Orbis Robotics’ Carl telepresence robot features a high-resolution 17″ LCD monitor, a high-definition webcam, and a built-in amplified speaker system with optional wireless headphones for privacy. One of the features which separates the Carl robot from many of the other telepresence robots is that multiple users can log in and take part in the remote presence experience. One person controls the movement of the robot while the others can view (and be viewed) from their own locations.

Currently, Orbis Robotics is preparing to implement integration of biometric sensors (including heart monitors), improved optics for visual observation of patients, and family participation.  This last feature is exclusive to the Carl robot and allows members of a patient’s family to participate in the Carl video call while the doctor is using the Carl to remotely visit the patient.
