Telepresence robots are defined as autonomous, remotely monitored robots with a smartphone and/or motorized desktop stands equipped with a monitor and a camera. The former type (autonomous/remotely operated robots) falls under the category of motile robots while the later one (motorized desktop robots) are considered as stationary robots. Over and beyond the forecasted period (2016-2022), it is expected that motile robots will be high on demand compared to stationary robots because of more flexibility, convenience and benefit of using them for multi-purpose end-use applications over a single use-robot.

 

The telepresence robot industry is surging forward rapidly, mainly on account of increasing demand for teleconferences, remote management of workforces, proliferating demand for consumer and personal telepresence robots in healthcare, education, retail and hospitality sectors, among others. At the same time, low-cost telepresence robots are being introduced for specific end-use applications. Smartphones/tablets are becoming more affordable and trends like BYOD (Bring Your Own Device) are further giving push for affordable video collaboration technologies.
