Beam is a mobile robotic telepresence (MRP) system from Suitable Technologies. MRP systems incorporate video\u00a0conferencing equipment onto mobile robot devices which can be steered from remote locations. These systems are\u00a0primarily used in the context of promoting social interaction between people. In this review, we first look at the\u00a0product overview of Beam, including its main functionality and price plan; we will then further discuss the potential\u00a0application areas and the product design challenges; finally, we make some recommendations to adopt MRP system\u00a0 within the University.<\/p>\n
