Tele-present robots do not come cheap. But Brando has an affordable solution – a tele-present robot called the MIDbot which is made up by using a laptop, a few robot arms and a trolley that drives it around to capture live video for you.
You can have the MIDbot as your tele-presence for your work place or home while you’re away. And you can simply use a laptop, netbook or your iPhone to remotely control the MIDbot via the Internet or have live video chat with your co-workers or loved ones via common video chatting software such as Skype.
You can remotely control the movements, the camera of the MIDbot via the Internet. Or even to get it to pick up some small items using its robot hands. It’s now available on Brando for a price $319. Watch the clip below for the MIDbot in action.
