Texas Alpha Telepresence Robots in Production

Posted 13 Feb 2010 at 16:31 UTC by Rog-a-matic

An initial batch of Texas Alpha (TA) telepresence robots is in the works at Willow Garage. Built using some of the PR2 Robot's technology, TA will be a test platform for Human-Robot interaction studies, networking research, mobility testing, and to polish its use as a telepresence platform for the masses. Someday, in addition to going to the office, or telecommuting, you may have a third - telepresence.
