"The aquarium telepresence program allows kids and their families at John Hopkins Children's Hospital to drive around a robot and experience the aquarium as though they are there"

Take a Trip to the Zoo from Anywhere

VGo Robot allows zoo access to everyone – regardless of health status or location. Remote controlled VGo easily drives throughout the zoo, giving a close up view to the animals and attractions. Guests can explore the zoo at their own pace, join a guided tour or participate in interactive presentations. VGo are popular for classroom field trips and virtual excursions for medically fragile individuals. Zoo staff can leverage as a way to monitor animals from a distance and communicate with other staff from any location.

“The robot, it disappears, it becomes them. When we’re looking at Patrice, we’re looking at the child, and we don’t make any distinction. This is really cool. It’s another way to go beyond the brick and mortar.”

– Jackie Eyl, International Spy Museum

How It Works

VGoʼs unique capability is its remote-controlled mobility combined with two-way video and audio communications.

The solution comprises two primary elements:

The VGo – The remote-controlled mobile device that represents the user in a distant location.
The VGo App – The software application runs on the users computer, tablet or phone and is used to initiate connectivity, see and hear what is happening at the other end, and drive the VGo.
