It’s like a video call, only you’re a Robot.
You can be a robot from anywhere in the world. A robot that captivates and inspires wherever it goes. TinMan hands you real-time control of RoboThespian or Mesmer. Using inbuilt cameras and microphones, you can control its gaze, enter a natural conversation, and trigger content on the fly. Automated features like maintaining eye contact keep interaction compelling and believable. Allowing you to concentrate on the fun stuff. Blowing peoples minds, for instance. TinMan offers unrivalled levels of engagement. Furthermore provides lasting positive memories about your business event/show etc. The intuitive nature of the system, means anybody can be trained to effectively inhabit the robot in less than an hour. TinMan capability is included as standard, including robot operator PC and headset. A TinMan operator can be sourced by us (additional cost), or by the renter themselves.
Onboard & External Audio
RoboThespian, is able to scale its audio power depending on the type of rental. It features an XLR line in and out and an on-board speaker in the chest. Unless in a very loud environment, face to face installations normally sound great with the on-board chest speaker only. However the line out allows the robot to be hooked up to any industry standard audio amplification or recording system. Great for stages with PA systems, or for recording TV and film.
Fully Loaded
A RoboThespian Hire comes with a packed library of impressions, greetings, songs and gestures. On top of the standard library, your robot will include 5 minutes of content, made specifically for your rental. Talk about your brand, tell jokes, give a presentation, or just give your TinMan operator a quick break. This works well for a well rehearsed scenario like a talk, presentation, line in a movie etc. It’s also an effective way of keeping a robot animated and on message when your TinMan operator is on a break.
