Double 3 is a self-driving, two-wheeled videoconferencing robot that revolutionizes the way you work or learn remotely. Double enables telecommuters, doctors, remote workers, and students to feel more connected to their colleagues by giving them a physical presence where they can’t be in person. Driving your own Double means you are free to roam around the office, visit patients, attend meetings, monitor work sites, or go to class from anywhere in the world.

Self-Driving

An array of 3D sensors enables Double 3 to understand its environment, where it’s safe to drive, and how to divert around obstacles to reach the destination. Obstacle avoidance means that completely untrained drivers can drive Double 3 without fear of bumping into walls or people.

Click-to-Drive

Dots are drawn on the floor where Double 3 can safely drive. The driver can click anywhere on the floor and the robot will go there, avoiding obstacles along the way.

Mixed Reality is like Augmented Reality, except virtual 3D objects are added into the video stream, and they look like they are placed in the real world. They help you understand what your Double can see, and they highlight important waypoints and objects of interest, such as the Charging Dock.

Unified Pan-Tilt-Zoom

Two 13 Megapixel cameras provide an ultra wide field of view and multiple levels of zoom. The cameras can physically tilt up and down, which is helpful for reading papers on a desk or zooming into a specific point.

Dual Robot

International Robot Exhibition 2020 (“IREX 2020”) was held from November 6-9.
Epson generated a lot of excitement at the show with demonstrations of an autonomous dual-arm robot.
Equipped with vision and force-sensing functions, this robot can autonomously execute tasks by recognizing objects, making decisions, and adjusting the amount of force applied, on the fly.

Main features

1. Begins a task with simple teaching
   Even users who have little experience with automation can easily install and use the robot because, once the robot has been taught objects and task scenarios, it can independently make decisions and accomplish a variety of tasks. The robot automatically avoids collisions and adjusts its grip on objects such as components and tools even without being taught.
2. Uses common, general-purpose tools
   Unlike past production line robots, which require special expensive tools and complicated peripheral equipment, the new robot can use the same inexpensive, off-the-shelf tools as people, no modification required.
3. Easy to relocate and reinstall
   A feature that enables the robot to accurately recognize the position and orientation of an object in three-dimensional space also enables the robot to immediately start any task even after the robot has been moved to and installed in a new location. The robot, capable of performing tasks in different locations everyday if necessary, is thus able to flexibly accommodate sudden changes to a production system.
