Large Screen Mobile Telepresence Robot (LSMTR)

In preparation for this year’s Designing Humanity Centered Robots class exhibition we’re going to share a couple of robots from past classes. Today we have the Large Screen Mobile Telepresence Robot. Most telepresence robots are little more than “Skype on a stick” or a “laptop on wheels”.LSMTR is window to another place. LSMTR makes interactive collaboration at a distance possible. LSMTR’s large screens increase the field of view, allowing users to incorporate gesture and movement, for a more immersive and embodied telepresence experience. We hope you enjoy this youtube video demonstrating some of the robot’s capabilities.
