Vgo Telepresence Robot


Assalamualaikum.. Hi everyone! 

You must have read many posts, right? So, in this second post I’ll talk about a Vgo telepresence robot. Whoaa! Talk to a robot? Yes, you smile and have a discussion with a robot.


Vgo telepresence robot

Nowadays, technology has brought us to a high level. In previous, people need to make an appointment before meeting with clients. However, with this new technology, it minimize the time consuming to go here and there, face-to-face with people and it’s so hectic when you need more energy for the whole day!

This present technology can be used in the sake of learning and teaching. I would say likely a videoconference type, but for me it is more advance and more energetic! Why I said so? It’s because it can move around such human. The screen and speakers let the students see and hear the teacher at her desk in Singapore, for example. Furthermore, when the teacher sits at his or her computer, he or she could roll the robot into meetings or seek people out in the cubicles 3000 mile away. So, it’s not a big problem when students want to ask questions from the teachers.

However, it still has disadvantages if we used this robot in future. Firstly, it changes the era of less interaction among people. This machine is just to minimize the problems, but people’s energy is still the ultimate focus due to several problems may occur to robot that costly much amount once it’s broken.
