DOUBLE 3 ROBOT
Grade Level: 9-12
Telepresence devices enable teaching and learning independent of location. This technology gives homebound students real-time access to their teachers and peers, maximizing social contact. Double 3 is a self-driving, two-wheeled video conferencing robot that revolutionizes the way students can learn remotely. Double enables students to feel more connected to their peers by giving them a physical presence where they can’t be in person. Driving the Double 3 means students can go to class from anywhere in the world.
- Self-driving: An array of 3D sensors enables Double 3 to understand its environment, where it’s safe to drive, and how to divert around obstacles to reach the destination.
- Click to Drive: Simply click anywhere on the floor in front of you, and your Double will drive there, avoiding obstacles along the way.
- Unified Pan-Tilt-Zoom: Two 13 Megapixel cameras provide an ultra wide field of view and multiple levels of zoom.
- Six Beamforming Microphones: An advanced array of six microphones helps the driver hear people from farther away and with less background noise.
Each robot contains the D3 Telepresence Robot and charging station.
