RoboMatrix, a division of Innovation Matrix, Inc., a leading distributor of robotic, motion control, and automated systems today announced its partnership with Anybots, Inc., of Mountain View, California, the leading pioneer in the emerging telepresence industry. The two companies will showcase the telepresence robot QB for the first time in Asia at the International Robot Expedition 2009 November 25-28 in Ariake, Japan. In introducing QB to the Asian market, Anybots will provide exclusive distributor rights to Innovation Matrix in the Japanese and Taiwan markets for its telepresence robot rental service, and non-exclusive rights to regional sales distribution once available for production.
With Innovation Matrix’s marketing knowledge in the Trans-Pacific region and the increasing awareness of responsible energy usage, RoboMatrix will provide Anybots’ QB robots to industries and consumers needing to interactively collaborate between two locations. Telepresence expands the user’s presence on a global basis, while still reducing carbon dioxide waste caused by unnecessary air and auto travel. Configured through the Internet, the QB robot streams live video, audio, and enables physical movement under the control of a driver from inside or outside the country. The telepresence robot serves and enables global collaboration within industries in retail, hospitality, education, and others from any distance. As corporations continue expanding and partnering internationally, Anybots’ QB robot provides the efficiency of being in two places at once. This capability is highly anticipated and will gain widespread market acceptance for companies and managers in Japan, Taiwan and throughout Asia.
“As a main distributor for Anybots in Japan and Taiwan, we are excited about the new partnership. RoboMatrix has established its robotic presence with concentrated Asian marketing and service focus, and together with Anybots, we will be able to provide the best tools and support to remain competitive in this challenging economic climate,” said Eimei Onaga, president and founder of Innovation Matrix, Inc.
“We are very pleased to be expanding our global presence with the QB robot and RoboMatrix. RoboMatrix is well connected with the Trans-Pacific markets and the robotics industry. QB’s telepresense capabilities will enable instant global collaboration among the world’s most innovative companies,” said Trevor Blackwell, founder of Anybots Inc.
