The 'Smartipresence' robot is a new take on the telepresence robot that will provide users with a low-cost option when looking to stay connected with those who matter most. The robot is crafted with cardboard components and works by having a smartphone docked in the top section in order to keep the user's face visible at all times during a video call. The unit can then be controlled manually to have it roam around a space to follow users and give everyone a stronger sense of connectivity when on calls.
The 'Smartipresence' robot can be easily controlled via the Android web app or iOS app and will allow users to manually control the unit for an enhanced sense of playfulness.
