The e-G8 forum will be held in Paris from May 24 to 25, 2011, in a custom-made place in the heart of the Jardin des Tuileries. This first edition will focus on new technologies and will be held before the formal G8 group meeting in Deauville on May 26. Gostai will showcase its Jazz mobile téléprésence robot to the leaders of the G8 group and the rest of the attendees.
Jazz is a robot made for mobile telepresence. It is 1-meter tall, fitted with a video camera and connected to the Internet over WiFi. The user connects to the robot from afar via a regular web browser. He can then control a robot in Paris from New York and see through the robot’s camera, which image is displayed in the browser in real-time. That way, the user can take part in a meeting, visit a place, and see what is happening in their office or factory in a natural and interactive way. There is no need to travel as the robot “teleports” the user so they can watch the robot’s surroundings while talking & hearing through the embedded loudspeaker and microphone. All this is done while controlling the robot’s moves via an intuitive interface.
Mobile telepresence is a new way to communicate, which makes informal talks easier. In addition to the sound and image provided in usual videoconferencing systems, mobile telepresence also enables the user to move. With mobile telepresence, it is now possible to keep in touch with a distant place while away or teleworking. It also helps reduce carbon footprint and travel costs, as well as being a device to welcome guests. Jazz is now available for sale starting at 7900€.
The e-G8 forum is the place to meet tomorrow’s major players, among which handpicked start-ups. Gostai was chosen as one of the start-ups showcasing their innovative products during the event. Gostai will demonstrate its Jazz robot, which has many applications in the business world as a mobile telepresence device, in security or even telemedicine.
