Une personne utilise un ordinateur portable affichant sur l'écran l'interface d'utilisation du robot de téléprésence Beam de Awabot. En plus de l'image de la personne qui contrôle le robot, l'écran montre également deux autres fenêtres avec des vues des caméras embarquées du robot : une qui affiche les personnes avec qui l'utilisateur est en train de discuter, et une autre qui affiche la base du robot et les lignes virtuelles qui guident la navigation de celui-ci.
🧭 Navigating indoors is key — for inclusive campuses and telepresence. Our latest article dives into the challenges and how #5GMetro tackles them with 5G, robotics & more.
