HOUSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--As Quantum International Corp. (OTCBB: QUAN) seeks out potentially lucrative opportunities in the rapidly expanding robotics sector, the Apple (NASDAQ: AAPL) iPad is inspiring startling innovations in the field of telepresence robots.
In four months, the company Double Robotics will begin shipping units of a new robot that could allow users to explore far-away locales from the comfort of home. The robot utilizes two iPads, one mounted on a mobile, adjustable stand to serve as your eyes and ears, while another is used to remotely control the robot with a downloadable app. The new telepresence bot moves around on balancing wheels similar to those found on a Segway.
“Double Robotics’ new robot is exactly the kind of idea that Quantum is working to develop and commercialize,” said Quantum CEO Robert Federowicz. “Not only does it leverage popular, cutting-edge tech in the form of the iPad, but it fills a need that consumers perhaps didn’t realize existed.”
The new robot could allow users to remotely explore museums in different timezones, or let potential customers tour businesses or attractions from their offices or living rooms. The 15-pound, plug-and-play robots are now available by pre-order for less than $2,000.
Double Robotics is one of many companies bringing an advanced new generation of robotics to market. Quantum is working to capitalize on swelling demand for consumer and business robotics solutions, too. The company is currently negotiating a definitive agreement to develop and commercialize new robots with Poland’s prestigious Industrial Research Institute for Automation and Measurements (PIAP) and recently hired a consultant to help target promising developers and concepts in China.
Quantum is focused on aggressive growth as it competes alongside robotics companies including iRobot Corporation (NASDAQ: IRBT), Honda Motor Co., Ltd. (NYSE: HMC) and AeroVironment, Inc. (NASDAQ: AVAV).
