Anybots

Anybots is an American robotics company founded by Trevor Blackwell in 2001. It focused on telepresence robots, most notably the QB, which was designed to let remote users observe environments and interact with people on site through a mobile platform, camera, display, and communications functions. Its later operating status and whether the brand remains active are unclear.

Anybots was established in the United States in 2001 by Trevor Blackwell. The company initially worked on robotics and later focused on telepresence applications. Its QB robot combined a mobile platform with remote communications, allowing users away from a site to view the surrounding environment, communicate with people present, and support limited forms of remote inspection. The product reflected Anybots' effort to position robots as tools for remote work and interaction. Reliable information about a later transformation, acquisition, or cessation of operations is insufficient, so the company's complete history and current business status cannot be confirmed.

  QB

  QB was Anybots' best-known telepresence robot. It used a mobile platform with remote visual and communication capabilities to let users participate in office interactions, observe on-site environments, and support limited inspection tasks. It closely represented Anybots' positioning around remote interaction through robotics.
