Telepresence Robot
Also known as: Telepresence Device, Remote Presence Robot
A remotely controlled robot equipped with a mobile base, camera, microphone, and speaker that enables a user to navigate, observe, and interact with people and environments from a distance. Telepresence robots extend the concept of video conferencing by adding mobility and physical presence, allowing users to explore spaces, attend events, and engage socially as if they were physically there. They are particularly valuable for people with mobility impairments, homebound individuals, and older adults who cannot easily access the external world.
