Australian engineer Marita Cheng’s company, Aubot, introduces its latest innovation, Teleport. This cutting-edge teleconferencing robot is poised to revolutionize remote communication for users worldwide.
Founded by Cheng in 2013, Aubot has been dedicated to crafting technology that assists people in their everyday lives. Teleport, introduced in 2016, embodies this ethos by offering a unique solution to the challenges of distance.
Teleport is a sleek robot with a 10-inch screen and three wheels for mobility. Unlike traditional video conferencing, users control Teleport via a laptop keyboard, providing a more intuitive experience. Its applications extend far beyond the workplace, finding utility in education, family connections, event organization, security, and disability empowerment.
Manufactured in Shenzhen, China, Teleport benefits from the city’s expertise in rapid prototyping and collaboration with suppliers. However, final assembly and quality control take place in Melbourne, ensuring adherence to Aubot’s high standards.
Marita Cheng’s entrepreneurial journey has been marked by her commitment to breaking gender barriers in the tech industry. Named one of Forbes’ World’s Top 50 Women in Tech in 2018, Cheng’s vision for Aubot stems from her childhood fascination with robots and her desire to make a positive impact on society.
Teleport’s features include a wide-angle lens, long battery life, clear audio communication, and obstacle avoidance sensors. These functionalities make it versatile and user-friendly across various environments.
As Teleport hits the market, it promises to revolutionize how we communicate remotely. With its innovative design and Marita Cheng’s unwavering dedication, Aubot is poised to make a significant mark on the world of technology.
