What are Telepresence Robots?
Telepresence robots uniquely enable people to feel physically "present". While people can connect via videoconferencing software such as Zoom or Skype, they can't move around a physical space.
Telepresence robots enable free-flowing situated interaction between people, enhancing the social experience. Physical presence improves social presence, leading to building trust and rapport.

Temi Personal Robot
In addition to Telepresence, the Temi robot features autonomous navigation and 2D Mapping & 3D localisation. This allows it to map out a space and save different locations on the map. The robot can navigate on its own to any mapped location, using obstacle avoidance to prevent collisions along the way.
​
It uses AI for facial recognition and can detect and follow people.
The Temi also has built-in speech recognition and can be used with Amazon's virtual assistant, Alexa.
There is also a tray on the back of the robot which can be used to carry and deliver items.
​
We recommend the Temi robot for: hands-free tracking in telepresence calls, autonomous navigation around a location, out-of-the-box AI and voice assistant, personalised software applications, and Bluetooth connectivity with external devices.
