ConnectR by iRobot
In this present era, where time is a precious commodity, one may be overspending it in his or her work. It is a gift to have advanced communication robots that allow one to make the most of his or her time, either at work or anywhere on the planet. One of the newest robots developed to cater to the need for telepresence is the virtual visiting robot, ConnectR, from iRobot. Equipped with high-resolution one-way video and clear two-way audio, the ConnectR robot allows individuals to virtually visit their loved ones, attend meetings, and even join a small chat with friends. This robot can be controlled using any Windows XP-enabled computer from anywhere in the world by means of the Internet. A user can control the robot’s vision direction through the use of a joystick, keyboard, or mouse. The ConnectR robot comes with solid security features, such as encrypted password protection and 10 PIN code sharing. Included in the package are a rechargeable battery, self-charging home base, headset, and microphone.
