How can a Double 3 robot help me? A Double 3, as with any telepresence robot, provides you with a remote presence at any location with sufficient bandwidth.  You log into the robot and drive it around while maintaining a two-way video call.  Other see your face and you see them; the next best thing to being there in person.  No need to send emails back and forth to set up a call, drive into your coworkers office now.  Visit loved ones more frequently, avoid the hassle of travel and have a telepresence robot at that warehouse or office in Japan, and spend more time with your family, instead.

What do you need?  Nothing; the Double 3 includes everything out-of-the-box.

How do you control the Double 3? You can use a PC/Mac or handheld device.

To use the P3 you'll need to download the PadBot app to your device.  When you log in, simply click a button to connect to your PadBot and you'll be driving and interacting with others in moments. As usual with the PadBots, you can control the robots and have a 2-way video call using smartphones or tablets. The P3 adds the ability to control the robot using a PC; however, please note that when using the PC it will only create a 1-way video call (the remote users can view what the telepresence robot 'sees').

Note: This quick posting is just a placeholder while we work on a more informative summary for you!  In the meanwhile, please feel free to contact us with any questions that you may have!

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.

One of the unique features of the Teleporter robot is that it offers multi-participants in the video and audio feeds.  While one person controls the robot, up to five additional users can log in and see (and be seen on) the screen.  This provides a very convenient way for multiple remote workers or physicians to easily participate in conferences and discussions or remote factory or hospital tours.

The amplified speakers and noise-cancelling microphone allow for easier and enhanced communication while the large screen of the Teleporter allows the operator to bring up schematics, blueprints, and websites on screen to show people at the robots location.  Additionally, the HD camera allows the user to zoom
in to view and display such things as instruments or parts in great detail.

For safety, the Teleporter has a sonar sensor, an infrared sensor, and a 3D camera which enables the robot to map its surroundings, allowing for very safe operation.

The SuperDroid Robots RP2W control software provides not only the ability to move the robot around a remote location, but also the ability to pan up to 360 degrees and to tilt over 150 degrees.  The RP2W Telepresence Robot uses a tri-wheel (three-wheel) platform which allows the robot to turn in place.  The RP2W does include a Windows 8 tablet which is mounted on the robot.

The ability to have the tablet auto-charged by the robot is an option customers may choose to add.  The option of various LED lights to use while controlling the robot in dark areas is an interesting add-on feature. Additionally, users may choose to purchase IR sensors to help avoid unseen obstacles on the ground.

Using special sensors, the robot is able to detect obstructions as well as detect flat surfaces such as a table top. With the use of optional grippers, the PeopleBot is able to pick up and place objects on a table. Additional accessories include laser-range finders, mono and stereo vision cameras, gyroscopes and joysticks. Due to the versatile design of the robot, almost any accessory can be added and programmed into the operations.

The PeopleBot robot is able to be controlled by either directional keys or a joystick through included software. This software is also able to plan paths including gradient navigation and can display a map of its sonar readings. This robot was primarily produced for research and development. It provides the tools and accessories to allow the user to setup testing scenarios, including robot vision capabilities. The robot software allows the user to run C/C++ programs making its use very customizable.

An audio and speech package can be purchased, allowing the Peoplebot robot to speak, play, and record sounds through its speakers and microphones. The Peoplebot also features the flexibility of using cameras or manipulator arms instead of the touch-screen.

The Webot also offers a long run-time of up to 12 hours.  Wicron (the creator of the Webot) mentions that some of the advantages that the Webot robot can provide are the ability to provide remote assistance in shopping centers, the ability for supervisors to monitor and interact with employees, the ability for business owners and leaders to save thousands of dollars by participating in meetings remotely, the ability to have more accurate control over merchandise and warehouse setups, the ability for museums to be experienced from afar, and the ability to attract customers through interaction with the robot or even having company names and logos attached to the robot itself.

The Webot, as with all telepresence robots, puts video conferences and remote viewing in your hands, giving you greater control of what you wish to see and when; empowering you to have a greater presence and more enhanced and efficient communication with your peers and coworkers or family, even from across the sea.

The Beam Pro is being used in corporate, manufacturing, medical, and sales environments to increase productivity and reduce costs!  Take advantage of a telepresence robot to conduct corporate training, have a commanding remote presence, conduct company tours, and meet with clients or fellow executives or employees.

The Beam Pro (BeamPro) robot is produced by Suitable Technologies as another addition to the field of business telepresence robots. Sporting a 17" screen, the Beam telepresence robot has many features distinguishing itself from competitors.  The large screen and more imposing size provide a stronger presence and command greater attention in the workplace.

The robot can be setup to allow auto-activation, where a remote user can use the robot right away, as well as setting up an introduction, where the call from the remote user must be answered.  This answering feature can also be performed through their mobile app, so if a customer wishes to log into your Beam Pro, and attempts to log in from their home, you can accept that call from wherever you are using your Beam mobile app.

The Beam Pro provides an enhanced ability to read facial gestures due to the large screen which helps to improve user experience. Two HD cameras provide a 170-degree wide-angle horizontal and vertical field of view, mitigating the tunnel vision you often get with traditional web-cams. The BeamPro also has four wireless radios that allow it to be connected to multiple wireless points at the same time and seamlessly transfer between points with no latency or lag.  The Beam is the only telepresence robot to implement this feature as the technology has been patented by Suitable Technologies (the manufacturer of the Beam robots).

The Beam robot implements a six microphone system which allows for reduced background noise and echo-cancellation. Also included is a feature called "Party Mode," which seeks to cancel out all noise except what is directly in front of you; great for manufacuring or warehouse or group environments. The Beam Pro offers a stronger speaker output than the Beam Plus, capable of outputting around 100 decibals.  In the future they plan to have an "Active Listening" feature, in which the Beam will attempt to match the correct volume to your surroundings.  If you are in a quiet room?  The volume will decrease.  If you are in a manufacturing plant, the volume will increase accordingly.

The BeamPro boasts an approximate eight hours of battery life, allowing you to get a full day of work in without the need to seek a recharge.  When a recharge is necessary, the user can simply drive the robot back to the charging station.

The Beam currently works with Windows 7 (or higher) and OS X 10.7 (or higher) operating systems (Not Linux compatible at the moment). Additionally, Suitable Technologies has also released functionality for Android and iOS devices using the Beam apps, allowing users to operate the robot using those tablets or smartphones.

The MantaroBot TableTop TeleMe can be set on any level surface and used as a stationary telepresence robot. Remote users can log into the TableTop TeleMe robot via the MantaroBot control application and an audio/video-conferencing app such as Skype, FaceTime, Vidyo, or Google Hangouts, and view all of the robot's surroundings as if they were there in person. The base of the robot includes powered speakers and a microphone that connects to the tablet via Bluetooth.

The TableTop TeleMe's view can be controlled by the remote user which provides more efficient and enhanced participation and communication. Remote users are able to log in to the TableTop TeleMe robot via a PC, Mac, or most any other device with a modern web-browser and a network connection. While viewing the remote location the user can control the telepresence robot's view through a downloaded control application that communicates with the TableTop TeleMe through a direct socket, MantaroBot Communications Service (a cloud-based service where an additional fee may be required), or a WebRTC connection. The remote user may choose to use MantaroBot's web-based controller, the MantaroBot TeleGo. Additionally, MantaroBot has a Controller for Android so both Android Phones and Tablets can be used to drive their telepresence robots.

Aside from turning on the robot, the TableTop TeleMe requires no local supervision. Settings in many video-conferencing apps allow remote users to log in directly to the application and start receiving video images, so there does not need to be a person at the robot's location that must log in to Skype. This "auto-response" feature makes viewing something remotely far more convenient for remote users unavailable to travel to a location. Remote users can participate in business meetings, visit or check-in on family members, view distant warehouses, or attend gatherings thousands of miles away.

Users of the TeleMe 2 telepresence robot can use any video-conferencing application on their tablet. The TeleMe 2 can be controlled via a Windows, Mac, Linux, or any device with a modern web browser by downloading and installing the control application or by using the web-based MantaroBot TeleGo app.  Additionally, users can operate the TeleMe with the MantaroBot TeleMe Robot App, which can be downloaded from the Google Play store.

The MantaroBot Teleme 2 uses the tablets microphone and speakers for sound. However, a holder with built-in Bluetooth speakers is available for purchase. Other optional features include LED base headlights, a charging dock, a laser pointer, a motorized mast with increased pan, an extended life battery, and more.
