Double Robotics is the world’s leading provider of telepresence robots. The goal of the Double 3 is to help telecommuters and distance learners be closer to their teams and classrooms. The robot senses its environment and presents a mixed-reality video stream to the driver, with 3D virtual objects placed into the live video stream as if they are in the environment. The Click-to-Drive interface lets the driver simply click anywhere on the floor and the robot will drive there, avoiding obstacles along the way. It is available to order directly through the website, and the first units will begin shipping toward the end of September.
