The iHabitat system does this by forming a WPAN (wireless personal area network) of the gizmos, the network in turn is connected to the Internet as well. WPANs are very short range self-organizing (read ‘Plug n Play’) wireless networks. Their self-organizing ability makes them easy to deploy: just buy a new device, bring it home and switch it on. That is all you need to do. The user interface for the system is web based and can be accessed from any web enabled device.

The future is going to see more and more devices getting connected to the internet. Practically every gizmo that we own would ultimately get connected to the internet. The applications are endless

While other internet robots mostly use WiFi (or a nearby PC with an internet connection), TeMo connects to the internet using Mobile packed data services (e.g. GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA). The advantage is virtually unlimited mobility for the robot.

While other internet robots mostly use WiFi (or a nearby PC with an internet connection), TeMo connects to the internet using Mobile packed data services (e.g. GPRS / EDGE / UMTS / HSDPA). The advantage is virtually unlimited mobility for the robot.

Simply put, TeMo is a robot that can

  • Move around and do stuff (since it has tank tracks and a robotic arm)
  • Can be controlled from any where in the world (since it has Internet connectivity)
  • Can boldly go where no robot has gone before !! (since it used mobile packet services for Internet connectivity)
