Report Tele Presence
Report Tele Presence
It is most innovative tool for bringing your remote workers into the office. It enables a
revolutionary new level of interaction with your remote team.
Traditional videoconferencing is arguably the most important tool used by telecommuters in the
workplace today. However, remote workers know how difficult it can be to schedule a call or ask
someone to set up a laptop for video chat.
Having your own robot in the office means you can be free to roam around anywhere without
having to schedule a meeting. It takes everything you love about video calls on an android and
puts that on a mobile base that puts the remote worker in control. Your robot is always on, ready
to take you anywhere you need to go.
Benefits for politicians:
Most offices have quite a bit of ad-hoc verbal communication throughout the day. How
many of those little conversations do the remote workers miss? Typically, the remote
worker is only contacted for higher priority items. This makes them second-class citizens,
since they're not in the loop on many day-to-day activities. Robot gives each remote
worker a physical presence in the office all day, every day. They're there for the hallway
conversations. You no longer need to say "can someone call Ms X and let her know what
we talked about?"
Hire the experts, no matter where they happen to live. Any growing business needs to
hire the best knowledge workers. What are the chances that the best expert lives within
driving distance of your office.
Retain your best employees, even when they move. Hiring is very difficult. It's
even more difficult when you lose a valued team member and need to replace
them. Next time an employee needs to move away, they can continue their job
via Double. It's a win-win for everyone.
Companies are now expanding their telecommuting policies because Robot improves the
experience so much. This method of telecommuting is vastly different and creates a
strong collaborative environment for both the remote worker and their whole team.
CEO/Boss stay logged into his robot throughout the day. "It's so close to being there, that we
often forget if for certain meetings if I was present physically or 'tele-robotically'

Schools:
Robot is helping to save school districts tens of thousands of Rupiees in their Professional
Development budgets. Through partnerships with service providers, experts can join the
classroom remotely, while maintaining a mobile presence.
The remote expert no longer wastes time driving around or flying around the country. You can
re-allocate that budget to other learning activities.
The project will give home-bound students another outlook, outside of their homes four walls,
being a part of the community and essentially learning beside their peers.
Your parents can visit school virtually and see how their children is doing.
Robot provide schools that need teachers specializing in certain subject areas. With the Robot,
these off-site instructors can help out in the classrooms without the hassle of traveling to the
schools, especially those in rural areas.
Currently, VirtualSC is testing Double out in two locations. "I feel like she was actually standing
in front of us, as if she was here in real life and it wasn't like we were talking to a regular robot,"
says Toni, one of the Lead Academy students. Rodney Johnson, a Lead Academy principal was
delighted to see the robot in the classroom. "It was really neat and just seeing it move around the
classroom really exceeded my expectations."
When someone said something, I could turn toward that person and, move to the other side of the
classroom
