Summary

Endurance, the maker of the Endurance telepresence robot, seeks to provide energy-efficient technologies for controlling their robot. The Endurance robot comes equipped with an ASUS Nexus tablet and the LinPhone program, an open-source application similar to Skype.

Users simply download the LinPhone program onto their computer, phone, or tablet and they can make calls to the Endurance robot and control it from remote locations. For those unfamiliar with the LinPhone app, it is similar to Skype, as mentioned above, and Google Hangouts, Viber, and other video conferencing applications so there should be very little difficulty in getting things set up.

The includ ed tablet works with WiFi, 2G, 3G, and 4G LTE, enabling the telepresence robot to use any internet connection. Additionally, users may operate the Endurance robot within a local network (a peer-to-peer connection).

The Endurance robot has four sensitive sonar sensors which survey the robots surroundings and will stop the robot upon detection of an obstruction.

Endurance uses a connection which it says is more reliable and stable than a Bluetooth connection. The Endurance robot has a microcontroller for operating the wheel platform which is connected to the robot’s tablet via a mini-USB connection with Android Debug Mode.

Additionally, Endurance plans to expand its current list of recommended tablets as well as providing a telepresence robot with a built-in monitor.
