Remote Control Clients
Oculus Prime can be controlled over the internet from anywhere, using a standard web-browser, or by using our Oculus Prime TeleOperator smartphone/tablet app. Settings configuration and calibration is done primarily through the web-browser client.
Auto-Charging
|
|
Docking with the wall-powered charging dock is handled automatically via 2D image processing through the included camera. The robot docks with the charger backwards, so it's not starting at a wall when charging.
The system can be configured to send a message (email, SMS, etc.) if it can't dock for some reason, to ask for help.
