Botkin’s Charity Project pursues the goal of making simple robots accessible to homebound or bedridden ME patients. The robots can be used to visit friends and family via telepresence or to participate in excursions. They are controlled via a smartphone or PC.

For controlling the robot, a SIM card is required, which is not included. A subscription with approx. 5 GB - 10 GB per month, with an upload speed of at least 50 Mbit/s, will be needed (in Switzerland, such a subscription, costs between CHF 5 and 20 per month e.g. "Salt Surf").
Are you able to sign up for such a subscription?
