In the 21th century, the transmission of the information is probably the area that has had the greatest increase in terms of use and progress. The most important aspect that has led to this improvement is the speed of transmission (the time that it take for information to go from one end to the other) and the accuracy of the data (unchanged content without external interference or communication issues). Consequently, telecommunications has experienced an exponential growth. However, with the use of emails, Instant Messaging or even phone calls, we still don't have the full sense of satisfaction that we have when talking face to face with the other person, without having a device in hand or typing on a keyboard. The only substitute is probably using video chat softwares like Skype while we still need to be immobile in front of the camera and near to the microphone. That's where Telepresence Robots come to the rescue, and thankfully RobotShop and Double Robotics are here to offer you the Double 2 Telepresence Robot. A solution of having your own remote controlled robot; part IPad and part "Segway", to take your video conference experience to a another level. The Double 2 is the second generation of the Double Telepresence Robot which improves the lateral stability control and the power drive. You can either purchase the Double 2 in a bundle with the full set of add-ons like the Speaker (Audio Kit), the Charging Dock and the Camera Kit or purchase the Telepresence Robot separately.
