The robot's basic specifications are extremely competitive, but that's just the beginning of the story. Surprisingly, the robot's operating system is NetBSD, and it communicates using a USB Wireless Lan IEEE802.11G module. It even supports its own IP address. That makes the robot truly platform independent.
As long as your system can send it commands and data in the correct formats, it doesn't matter whether you run on Windows, or Mac OS, or Linux, or your application is written in Visual Basic, C#, Java, or any other development language. And as long as the robot has wireless connectivity to the Internet, it doesn't matter whether you operate it from 5 feet or 5,000 miles away. One of our tests involved operating the robot from a remote room on a different floor in the building, and it passed with flying colors.
Along the same lines, Speecys has developed proof-of-concept remote presence applications utilizing Skype to allow the transmission of the robot's video feed along with control commands.
