The PadBot P2 telepresence robot has as its main highlight the ability to be folded for easy storage and portability. In addition to its foldability, the PadBot P2 features a 10″ HD screen, upgraded hardware and software, and a sleek, metallic look and design, providing a more polished and professional look than that of its predecessor.

The PadBot P2 robot includes all the features found in the the Padbot P1. The Padbot P2 still includes obstacle detection, collision avoidance, and an anti-falling system for security and safety while driving.

The P2, however, is taller than the Padbot P1, standing at about 3’7″ tall (1.1 meters), about 10cm taller than the P1.

I think AMY Robot represents the future AI market with intelligent robotics solutions like facial recognition, autonomous navigation, cloudy data analysis, etc. AMY Robot serves people in airports, business halls, government halls, shopping malls, hospitals and healthcare organizations, museums, etc. I saw in a healthcare center in Belgium, AMY Robot works well as a healthcare guide and hall receptionist who doesn’t need any breaks or salary, and most importantly, all people love this new member.

The Team from Ohmni Robots have been amazing. Every time I have contacted them they have called back or emailed back in a very timely manner. They have great product info and back up.

The Ohmnni robot is really easy to control through the internet. The mobile version got even better. It’s amazing how precisely I can control the robot at such reasonably fast speeds.

I’ve been using the Beam Pro for four months and it has been a workhorse.We have used it in various capacities without any problems. For presentations, robotics demos(for industry).
We are getting ready to teach a programming class and class for App development.
I have used other telepresence robots over the last five years, but this system was the most stable and durable without flaws.
A MUST TRY PrODUCT.

I purchased this as my production line is in a cleanroom in San Lorenzo and I am in San Diego. The product required a little assembly and was rather easy to install and activate. It works better than I expected as to the responsiveness to my commands hundreds of miles away as well as the ease of maneuvering particularly around tight places when I tilt the camera down. The packaging was well thought out perfectly protective and easy to unpack.

I chose Giraff for a project because it can be programmed – unlike most other telepresence robots available. It has worked great for demos and I look forward to creating customized solutions for people in the future.

I can visit my elderly family at any time. Video chat and movements are quite smooth.

Comment on TableTop TeleMe by anonymous

I recently did a demo drive of MantaroBot’s TeleMe 2. Seizing the opportunity, I decided that a test of their TableTop TeleMe was also in order. The team, friendly and helpful as ever, were eager to show me their product. I was sent an email with instructions and soon I was trying to log in to their system. This was very easy when I was testing the TeleMe 2, however now I was having some difficulties. However, the problem was solved fast and soon I was talking with MantaroBot’s Daniel, who showed me some of TableTop TeleMe’s best features.

This telepresence robot isn’t able to move around, as you might have guessed by the name. It’s a rotatable stand that you can place on a table or a desk with a holder for a tablet or phone. If you prefer, you can also order a TableTop TeleMe with a floor base and a 30’’ mast extension. The robot allows you to easily communicate with people and you can rotate the stand (full 360 degrees!) to look around the room. You can memorize locations, so that you can talk to several people at once and turn the head of the robot to face a person with just a click. You can also tilt the camera and look up and down. I appreciate that Mantarobot offer customization when it comes to the robot – for example, although the supported devices are iPad, iPhone and Samsung Galaxy TAB, the TableTop TeleMe can be adapted to virtually any tablet or phone.

I really liked that the TeleMe has built in speakers and microphone, as the quality of the sound was amazing. Since it’s stationary, the robot can stay plugged in the wall socket (although there’s is an option for an internal battery) allowing you instant access and unlimited operational time. Daniel mentioned that the TableTop TeleMe is great for elderly care – except turning the robot on, there’s nothing you can’t do virtually. It can connect via Ethernet and WiFi and since it doesn’t move around, the signal stays strong. There’s also an optional laser pointer that can be built in.

Operating the Tabletop TeleMe was extremely intuitive and easy. You can use any conference program you like (Skype, Google Hangouts, etc.) and you don’t need to install any kind of software on your computer to control the robot. I want to mention that turning the head was a bit noisy, although it didn’t really prevent me from hearing what Daniel was saying.

What I really like about the TableTop TeleMe is that it’s much cheaper than other telepresence robots, while at the same time it’s almost as useful. If you need a device that can allow you to easily communicate to your elderly parents or attend distant meetings, the TableTop TeleMe would certainly do the job. However, I have to admit that rolling down hallways with a mobile robot is much more fun.

To sum up my experience, here are the pros and cons of the TableTop TeleMe:

+ Cheaper than non-stationary telepresence robots
+ Customizable
+ Easy to use
+ Can be accessed distantly, without assistance
+ 360 degree view of the room + tilting
+ No specialized program installation
+ Compatible with every conference program
+ Laser pointer and floor base available
+ Can be plugged in wall socket, but also has a rechargeable battery
+ Built-in speakers and microphone

Cons:

– Stationary
– Noisy rotation
– Needs customization before working with most devices
– You need to buy a tablet, as it’s not included
