The SuperDroid RP2W Two Way Remote Presence Robot is the Generation 4 RP2W (Remote Presence 2-Way) robot. It is completely assembled, tested, and ready to ship. This robot brings video conferencing to a new level by allowing the remote user to drive the robot around the office anywhere within the WiFi network. The Generation 4 RP2W allows easy setup of the robot, just connect the fully setup and tested integrated laptop to your wireless network using the built in wireless network adapter.
The RP2W (Remote Presence 2-Way) is a remote presence robot which allows professionals in different geographical locations to teleconference and establish a remote presence via a mobile robot. Real-time video allows for detailed viewing and audio of the surroundings. The robot allows mobility within the workplace. The robot, made by SuperDroid Robots Inc. has two-way video, two way-audio, non-contact sensors, and battery voltage. All of this is accomplished using wireless technology. The robot is controlled from a remote location using a personal computer and a game pad controller. The RP2W has a stable 2WD platform that can traverse most indoor surfaces including carpet. The left and right motors are independently controlled allowing pivot turns and full maneuverability. The motors are controlled by the remote user with a game pad controller that utilizes SuperDroid Robots RP2W custom robot control software. The other joystick of the game pad controls the camera. The camera has a full 360+ degree pan and 150+ degree tilt. Using the game pad D-Pad the user can trim (incrementally position) the camera or use the joystick and move the camera rapidly to see throughout the room. The design allows the camera to look straight down so it can view the laptop and the base of the robot.
This robot is equipped with non contact ultrasonic sonar sensors at the base of the robot to detect low-lying obstacles. One sensor in the front of the robot and one in the back of the robot. The supplied RP2W program will detect and obstruction and stop the robot from driving. The user can use the camera pan and tilt and look down at the base of the robot to confirm the obstruction or over-ride the sensors on a false indication. A front bumper switch is also supplied that will stop the robot's forward motion and can be over-ridden too.
The aluminum robot chassis is laser cut, CNC bent and welded construction. The robot wheels and axles are supported by sealed ball bearings yielding very smooth operation with minimal maintenance. The robot is power with large sealed gel cell batteries and can be sized to give up to 8+ hours of operation. The robot has a charging jack on the back of the robot that can be used to automatically charge the robot or run it on AC power during long meetings, idle time, or after hours it can be plugged into the wall and charged without the need to turn it off. The laptop on the robot is run from its own batteries and will last from 3-5 hours. The laptop is charged using the robots charging port. As an additional option the robot's laptop can be charged off of the main batteries.
