Ohmni, a Telepresence Robot for the Rest of Your Family
From: IEEE Spectrum - 12/08/2017

OhmniLabs, a Silicon Valley robotics startup with CMU roots (they’re advised
by Manuela Veloso), wants to make telepresence robots easy and affordable
enough that people start using them to stay connected with their families. In
order for that to work, their telepresence robot (called Ohmni) is designed
to be as independent as possible—you can send it to someone who isn’t at all
comfortable with tech, and they can take it out of the box, turn it on, and
it’ll just work. It’s potentially ideal for family members who you don’t live
close to, or elderly family members who you like to talk to (and check up on)
regularly.
