Double Robotics upgrades its iPad telepresence robot<article>

Double Robotics is starting off 2016 with an update to its iPad-based Double telepresence robot. The new robot, called Double 2, doesn’t stray much from the overall design of its predecessor. But there are two major changes that affect the overall performance.</p><p>
The first new feature is called Lateral Stability Control. This allows Double 2 to roam around without losing its balance when it rolls over a bump, cord or other object. When I
reviewed the original Double, the robot didn’t have a problem with tipping over; I actually found it very difficult to have it completely lose its balance. But when it ran over a bump or cord, the arm holding the iPad shook, and it’s noticeable when controlling the robot and looking through the camera. The new Lateral Stability Control should minimize this, making for a smoother camera view.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/3019052/hardware/double-robotics-upgrades-its-ipad-telepresence-robot.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
