A Double Robotics telepresence robot around 2013.

Double Robotics is a technology startup company that produces iPad-based telepresence robots called Double and Double2.[1][2][3] Double, which resembles a Segway PT,[4] has a price of $2,499.

The robot uses gyroscope and accelerometer sensors in its base, and can be controlled with a desktop, tablet, or smartphone.[5]

Double Robotics received seed funding from Y Combinator. Johnson & Johnson and The Coca-Cola Company are testing Double and seven Fortune 500 companies have preordered. Preorders total over $500,000.[1] Customer deliveries began February 2013.[6]

As of January 2017, the company claims about 8000 robots being sold since 2013.[7]

In August 2019, the company debuted the Double 3, a robot intended to increase productivity of remote workers and distance learners.[8]
