Double Robotics
Double 3 is a self-driving, two-wheeled videoconferencing robot that gives remote workers and students a physical presence in hybrid offices and classrooms. Using an array of 3D sensors for obstacle avoidance and a click-to-drive interface, users can navigate the robot safely to any marked location on the floor. Its dual 13-megapixel pan-tilt-zoom cameras provide ultra-wide views and precise zoom for reading documents or focusing on details.

Problem
Hybrid offices and classrooms lack tools designed for the mixed in-person and remote environment, leaving remote workers and students feeling disconnected from their colleagues and unable to participate fully in physical spaces.
Solution
Double 3 is a self-driving, two-wheeled videoconferencing robot that provides remote users with a physical presence in hybrid environments. An array of 3D sensors enables the robot to understand its surroundings, identify safe driving areas, and navigate around obstacles automatically. Users control the robot through a click-to-drive interface, selecting any point on the floor marked with dots and the robot drives there safely. The robot features two 13-megapixel cameras with unified pan-tilt-zoom capabilities, offering an ultra-wide field of view and multiple zoom levels for reading documents or examining details. Mixed reality overlays add virtual 3D objects into the video stream to highlight waypoints and objects of interest, such as the charging dock.
Target Audience
Primary customers are employers with hybrid office arrangements and educational institutions running hybrid classrooms, specifically remote workers and students who need a physical presence in shared spaces.
