uPoint
iRobot's uPoint MRC system drastically decreases the learning curve required for commercial robot operation.
Commercial Robot
Apparently there are over 6,000 commercial iRobot models deployed worldwide, tackling public safety issues like hazardous waste disposal and even pitching in at dangerous sites like Fukushima, Japan.
Android App
The new uPoint system puts all of those traditional controls into an easy-to-use user interface that will be instantly familiar to anyone used to touch-screen apps.
3D Model
Manipulating articulating arms and claws is equally as easy—just drag the 3D model's arm and the real robot's arm responds in unison.
Camera
The app puts a virtual joystick, live camera feed, and 3D model of the robot at your fingertips.
Claw
The claaawww.
Integrated Data
Beyond ease of use, iRobot's uPoint system can run on most modern Android tablets, making it a far more versatile solution than a clunky remote control. The app also makes it easy to integrate data from existing apps, like say Google Maps, to cater functionality to specific businesses or use cases.
