Use Cases	Autonomous Robots Remote Collaboration
Services	System Integration
Challenge	Double Robotics, a company that offers telepresence robots for more realistic remote collaboration experiences, faced a significant challenge. They wanted to enable more realistic interactions for remote workers overseas and help children attend class even when they can't make it there in person. The need to be in different places, whether it's a meeting across the city or an office on the other side of the world, is a common challenge in today's globalized world. However, it's not always possible or affordable to physically be there. Double Robotics aimed to overcome this challenge by allowing workers to interact more realistically with their colleagues overseas and enabling children to have a physical presence in the classroom, even when they can't be there in person.

About Customer	Double Robotics is a company that offers telepresence robots to enable more true-to-life remote collaboration experiences. They created the Double Robot, an ultra-slick iPad on wheels controlled via a remote web interface or from any iOS device. The company aims to enhance the remote working experience by allowing workers to interact more realistically with their colleagues overseas. Additionally, they also aim to help children have a physical presence in the classroom, even when they can't be there in person. The company's CEO, David Cann, emphasizes the importance of low-latency, high-quality, encrypted video for their product. Read More
Solution	Double Robotics leveraged the Vonage Video API to enhance its telepresence robot. By combining Vonage's real-time video with their advanced robotics, they created a simple and elegant way to be somewhere else in the world. The Vonage Video API platform powers video streams between Double Robotics users, integrating seamlessly into the robot's interface. Users can even keep the robot at eye level by adjusting the height remotely, which helps make conversations more fluid and real. Double Robotics CEO David Cann emphasized that low-latency, high-quality, encrypted video is a top priority for their product, and Vonage's WebRTC SDK is the only solution that meets and exceeds all of these requirements on both iOS and the web.

Solution

Double Robotics leveraged the Vonage Video API to enhance its telepresence robot. By combining Vonage's real-time video with their advanced robotics, they created a simple and elegant way to be somewhere else in the world. The Vonage Video API platform powers video streams between Double Robotics users, integrating seamlessly into the robot's interface. Users can even keep the robot at eye level by adjusting the height remotely, which helps make conversations more fluid and real. Double Robotics CEO David Cann emphasized that low-latency, high-quality, encrypted video is a top priority for their product, and Vonage's WebRTC SDK is the only solution that meets and exceeds all of these requirements on both iOS and the web.

Impact #1	The integration of Vonage's real-time video with Double Robotics' advanced robotics has resulted in a simple and elegant solution for being somewhere else in the world. The Vonage Video API platform powers video streams between Double Robotics users, integrating seamlessly into the robot's interface. This has made conversations more fluid and real, enhancing the overall user experience. The ability to adjust the robot's height remotely to keep it at eye level has also contributed to making interactions more realistic. The CEO of Double Robotics, David Cann, has expressed satisfaction with the Vonage Video API platform, stating that it continues to be the best and most innovative WebRTC platform. Without it, they would not be able to offer many of the key features of their driving interface.
