Double Telepresence robot
The Double Telepresence robot gives everyone the chance to be in two places at the same time via their computer on a mobile device. Looking for colleagues from home and attending a meeting? A doctor who does his rounds but just stays behind his desk? Or visiting grandma while you are in a traffic jam? The Double robot makes it possible.
Telepresence robot
The Double Telepresence robot sends you with its automatically balancing wheels to the person or group you want to talk to. At normal eye level, you can dabble at any conversation and aim your eyes at the person you are talking to. Follow your colleagues to the meeting room or the coffee machine. It really is as if you were there. In nursing homes, the robot is used to monitor the residents, but also to get the family to drink tea more often. These are all efficient ways of keeping in touch, which are much more fun and work better than the old-fashioned image bubbles. Please note that you will need to buy an Apple table separately to serve as a screen.
