At A Glance 

How They Compare

Product design and operational focus

Double 3 and temi V3 are two mobile robots that aim to provide a means of interaction between individuals and technology; however, there are differences in their purposes.

Double 3 is mainly a telepresence robot. The main function of this robot is to enable an individual in one location to participate in events that take place elsewhere. An individual can control the movement of the robot and communicate with others using the audiovisual capabilities of the robot.

Such a feature can make Double 3 useful in workplaces, schools and many other locations where the physical presence of an individual might not be possible. temi V3 integrates mobility communication services with navigation and interactive services.

This robot has the ability to carry out video communication, voice interaction and indoor movement. Such features might be applicable in healthcare facilities, hospitality facilities and homes. This distinction is essential since telepresence robot and service robot are evaluated according to different criteria.

Height and design

Double 3 is fitted with a motorized mechanism to regulate height adjustment. Double 3 has a recorded height that varies between 119.38 cm and 152.4 cm, equal to 47–60 inches.

temi V3 has a recorded height of 100 cm. Therefore, Double 3 is higher than temi V3 in terms of their maximum adjustable heights. It features a height adjustment mechanism enabling it to adjust the display at various heights. This may help when communicating remotely with seated and standing individuals.

temi V3 is built with a low height and is fixed. This makes it possible to use temi V3 in cases where low-profile mobile robots are needed. Nevertheless, height alone does not define maneuverability or accessibility. The provided data cannot help to compare the minimum passage widths, turning radius or the floor footprints.

Weight and portability

Double 3 has a recorded weight of approximately 15 kg. temi V3 weighs approximately 12 kg according to its global specification, while a China-market V3 page lists 13 kg.

Based on these figures, temi V3 is approximately 2–3 kg lighter. This difference may influence transportation, repositioning and installation. A lighter robot may be easier for staff to move manually when necessary. However, weight alone does not establish portability.

Wheel configuration, lifting points and handling procedures can also affect how easily a robot can be transported. The supplied records do not establish directly comparable carrying or storage requirements.

Mobility and navigation

Both Double 3 and temi V3 are created to navigate indoor spaces. Double 3 has telepresence capabilities, with control over the robot's navigation conducted using its interface. In addition, the system incorporates features aimed at helping a remote user to navigate occupied areas.

Autonomy in mobility and navigation is a key feature of temi V3. This allows the robot to go to the supported destinations without any need for remote control throughout all trips.

This difference may affect the use cases for each platform. The robot will be especially useful in case a remote participant has to navigate occupied spaces.

temi V3 can be more effective in workflow requiring navigation from one predetermined indoor destination to another. However, the provided information does not include maximum speed and obstacle detection range for each platform. Thus, a comparative analysis of their mobility and navigation cannot be provided.

Inertial measurement systems

Both robots include inertial measurement units. Double 3 has a recorded nine-axis IMU. temi V3 also includes an IMU, although the supplied records do not specify its axis configuration.

An IMU can provide information about a robot's motion and orientation. This information may support movement control, stabilization and navigation. However, a nine-axis specification does not automatically establish superior navigation performance.

The effectiveness of an inertial system depends on sensor quality, software processing and how its measurements are combined with other information. The supplied records do not provide enough detail to compare the performance of the two IMU systems.

Touchscreen displays

Both robots include integrated touchscreen displays. Double 3 has a 9.7-inch touchscreen. temi V3 has a 10-inch HD touchscreen. The difference in diagonal display size is approximately 0.3 inches.

This is a relatively small difference in screen size. For Double 3, the display is central to its telepresence function, allowing people near the robot to see and interact with a remote participant. For temi V3, the touchscreen supports visual interaction and compatible applications.

However, display size alone does not establish image quality.  Resolution, brightness, viewing angles and software design also influence usability. The supplied records do not provide directly comparable display-resolution or brightness specifications.

Video communication and telepresence

The Double 3 robot is made mainly for telepresence purposes. The robot's mobility feature enables one to be engaged in talks and travel around different places.

It may come in handy for those people who work remotely, attend certain events from a distance or take part in various meetings. The temi V3 robot can also be used for communication purposes.

The robot's features such as a touchscreen, speakers, internet connection and mobility may be important for video communications and interactions. Yet the available information does not prove the fact that both robots have similar controls for telepresence.

Remote control of the robot, choosing destinations, camera controls and communication platforms may differ. One needs to assess their own communication process instead of just having a display and audio equipment.

Battery longevity and operating time

Operation longevity is one of the most straightforward distinctions from the presented specifications. Double 3 has an operating time of up to four hours.

temi V3 has an operating time of up to eight hours.From the above numbers, it is clear that temi V3 has double the longest operating time. It could be important for facilities where robots are expected to work for long stretches of time.

For instance, in a health care facility or at a hospitality establishment, a robot should be able to interact with people during hours of its operation. But, these numbers do not confirm that the tests were conducted in identical circumstances for both robots.

Battery depletion depends on movement, using a display, communication via sound, network communication, and periods when the robot stays idle. Also, there is no information about charging times in the provided specifications.

Wi-Fi and wireless connectivity

Both Double 3 and temi V3 support Wi-Fi. Wi-Fi connectivity is indicated as the recorded connectivity type of Double 3.

temi V3 works with Wi-Fi 5 at both 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz frequencies, Bluetooth 5.1 BLE and USB-C/USB-A connectivity. Also, the provided documentation includes the record about the possibility of using a cellular version of temi V3. Additional connectivity types could be important for organizations in terms of connecting the robot with other compatible devices and systems.

But multiple types of connectivity do not automatically imply that the network capabilities are going to be higher. Network reliability is determined by network coverage, software compatibility and application communication needs. Companies should determine which features use the Internet and which work only with local networks.
