Discovery Lab Demos Telebot Prototype for Miami PD!
In two years, Miami might be home to the first on-duty robocops. FIU Discovery Lab engineers demonstrate the capabilities of their telebot prototype, designed to aid disabled police officers. Standing six feet tall and weighing about 80 pounds, TeleBot is equipped
with a 360-degree camera that allows it to collect and transmit live
data to the controller, or TeleOperator. This input is received through
an Oculus Rift, a virtual-reality headset that gamers commonly use in
their homes.
