Revolve Robotics, a leading innovator in robotic telepresence, today announced seamless integration between its innovative Kubi robotic telepresence platform and JACO, a leading manufacturer of mobile computer carts for the healthcare industry. Together, their combined solutions deliver multiple new options for hospitals, physicians, psychiatrists, and other healthcare professionals looking for a mobile platform to deliver engaging, productive telemedicine.
"Kubis robotic telepresence really gives us a powerful telemedicine solution. Its ability to enable the remote clinician to control the engagement removes a significant burden from onsite staff while dramatically increasing productivity and engagement," said Jerry Faiella, vice president of Sales and Marketing with JACO. "Our UltraLite series of mobile carts now give healthcare professionals the ability to deliver more personal care from anywhere at a price point that any organization can afford."
Kubi, which users can experience right now by directing their Chrome or Firefox browser to this link, leverages the conferencing capabilities of todays tablets by introducing a robotic platform or cradle on which the tablet sits. The resulting telepresence robot is then "driven" by the remote video-conferencing participant. Kubi thus turns passive video conferencing callers into active participants, as remote callers use Kubi to "look around" the room and actively engage with meeting participants.
The joint solution from JACO and Revolve enables healthcare organizations to bring powerful, engaging telepresence anywhere it may be needed within an organizations campus. With myriad form factors sure to meet the needs of the most specific application, JACO has created the ideal mobile platform for Kubi in the form of its Kubi carts. These carts can deliver interactive video collaboration anywhere on site. It is ideal for quarantine situations, remote contact between the patient and his or her family, clinician-to-clinician contact, or clinician-to-interpreter contact.
"We are thrilled to integrate our technology with JACO, the industrys ‘gold standard for mobile computing carts for healthcare," said Marcus Rosenthal, Revolve Robotics co-founder and CEO. "With the entire telemedicine market poised to hit $27.3 billion dollars by next year, there is clearly a significant amount of demand for this type of solution."

How cameras deliver sharp images despite changing distances
IDS Imaging Development Systems offers a range of models, from a webcam-like camera in industrial quality to a tiny autofocus camera that weighs just12 grams. The 13 MP autofocus camera uEye XC closes the market gap between industrial cameras and webcams. Setting up and operating only requires a cable connection. After that, the autofocus camera immediately delivers high-resolution, detailed images and videos. With the optionally available, quickly exchangeable macro lens, users can easily shorten the minimum object distance of the camera. This makes it also suitable for close-up applications. Focus from a distance of just 10 cm. The uEye XS is even more compact and fits into almost any application with its size of just 26.4 x 23 x 21.7 mm. Thanks to its autofocus and 5 MP CMOS sensor, it delivers consistently sharp images and videos from a distance of just 10 cm. When it comes to image quality, natural color reproduction and harmonious contrast are also decisive factors. IDS has therefore equipped the uEye XS with many other practical automatic features familiar from consumer technology. This includes white balance, exposure and gain. As a result, it delivers the best possible result in every situation.
