The Beam Remote Presence System
The Beam Remote Presence System consists of three
components: the Beam Remote Presence Device
(RPD), the Beam Client Software (Client) and the Beam Docking Station (Dock). The 'pilot' of a Beam RPD will use the RPD to communicate with 'locals' at a work setting.
The Beam RPD is your physical presence in the world. It stands at 62” tall, weighs 95 pounds, and has a 17" screen, enabling the pilot’s face to be seen at human size. The battery can power the Beam RPD for up to eight hours of active use and its motors can reach human walking speed
(1.5 meters per second). Robust and seamless wireless connectivity is provided by 2 wireless radios (2.4/5 GHz) and proprietary software that can smoothly handle transitions between access points. The Beam RPD also has two high definition cameras to provide a 170 degree wide field of view, both vertically and horizontally; a six microphone beam forming array for human-like audio
performance, background noise reduction, and echo
cancellation; a sophisticated speaker system in order to be heard in noisy environments; and LED lamps to enable operation in low light.
The Beam Client connects to the Beam RPD and provides integrated controls for driving, video, and audio. The client is available for download as an installer on both Windows 7 and Mac OS X.
The third component is the Beam Dock, which charges the RPD's battery. The pilot maneuvers the RPD directly into the dock without any local intervention to connect to the power source, thus the Beam RPS provides true independence.
