This is the telepresence robot that you control from anywhere in the world for realtime video chatting with family members at home. The robot connects to a home’s wireless network and holds an iPad or Android-powered tablet (not included) in its cradle. Using a smartphone or another tablet you can maneuver the three-wheeled robot through your home, tilt and swivel its tablet, and engage in humanoid-like video conferencing with loved ones. Its integrated sensors detect stairs, furniture, and other obstacles and direct the robot to stop and change direction. The robot can also be used to check in on your home when the entire family is on vacation or to monitor pets while you are at work. Requires iOS 7 and up or Android 4.0 and up. 35" H x 15" D x 11" W.
