Proxie is a telepresence robot designed and built from scratch. It is still under development. It uses 2 color cameras for eyes which wirelessly relay a stereoscopic (side-by-side) image to a virtual-reality style helmet also built from scratch. The helmet has a 1280x800 resolution video display, a Parallax Propeller microcontroller and an inertial measurement unit for real-time head tracking. It uses Xbee antennas for RC control.
