TiLR Robot transports you to a virtual world of object interactivity
Imagine being able to interact with objects in a remote location without actually going there. Telepresence, as we call it, is among the most widely researched facets of technology today. The TiLR is a product of this school and has the ingredients to help you experience the future like never before. The 4-foot robot, created by RoboDynamics, is powered by Win XP Pro, and features an 8-inch touch screen LCD. A Canon PTZ camera with 26x optical zoom acts as the primary tool for the robot in enabling telepresence. TiLR transports you to a virtual world where interacting with the environment (people, objects, etc.) is not just an illusion. More advanced than video conferencing, this technology is in line with what we have envisaged in our wildest dreams.
