About the brand
Who is Temi?
Temi launched in 2017 out of New York and Tel Aviv with a mission to put a personal robot in every home and business. The Temi robot combines a 10-inch tablet, autonomous navigation, far-field microphone array, and follow-me mode in a sub-$2,000 platform. Its open SDK and developer-friendly approach have made it a favorite for telemedicine, telepresence, education, and custom kiosk applications.

Why us
Why we partner with Temi
01
Best price-to-capability ratio in robotics
Under $4,000 for autonomous navigation, far-field voice, HD telepresence, and an open SDK. Nothing else in the market matches that math.
02
Open SDK that developers actually use
Temi's developer ecosystem has built thousands of custom apps — kiosks, tour guides, retail assistants, hospital concierges. We have shipped Temi for use cases no one anticipated.
03
Follow-me mode is a genuine differentiator
Temi physically follows a person around a space, which unlocks telepresence use cases (remote doctor walking through a ward, remote executive touring a facility) no other robot does well.

Questions & answers
Long-form Q&A: deploying Temi in production
Real questions from healthcare, hospitality, and university Temi deployments.
-
Why is Temi so much cheaper than other service robots?
Tablet-on-wheels architecture, consumer-derived components, and high manufacturing volume. Temi made deliberate trade-offs (lower payload, smaller screen) to hit the price point, and the trade-offs are right for telepresence.
-
How does Temi's follow-me actually work in a busy hospital corridor?
Visual + depth tracking on the target person. It loses the target occasionally in dense crowds but reacquires within seconds. We have it running rounds with hospitalists at multiple academic medical centers.
-
Can Temi work as a kiosk?
Yes, this is one of the most common use cases. Temi parks at a known location, runs your kiosk app on the 10-inch tablet, and goes back to dock when low on battery. Great for retail and corporate lobby.
-
What is the battery runtime?
About 8 hours of mixed use, 2-3 hours of continuous follow-me with HD video. Returns to dock autonomously when battery hits 15%.
-
Does Temi work outdoors?
No. Temi is indoor-only and needs hard floors. It handles standard commercial flooring (tile, hardwood, low-pile carpet) well; high-pile carpet and outdoor surfaces are not supported.
-
How does Temi compare to a tablet on a wheeled stand?
Temi is autonomous; the wheeled stand is not. For static telepresence, a stand is fine. For mobile telepresence where the remote person needs to move through a space, Temi is in a different category.
-
Is the voice AI good enough for receptionist work?
Yes for FAQ, hours, and wayfinding. Not yet good enough for complex booking or transactional dialog. We typically pair Temi with a backend AI (OpenAI, Claude) for complex use cases.
-
Can Temi navigate stairs?
No. Temi avoids stairs (cliff sensors) but does not climb them. Multi-floor deployments need elevator integration, which is supported.
-
What is the lifespan of a Temi unit?
5-7 years with normal use. Battery replacement every 2-3 years is the main consumable.
-
Can I use Temi for remote facility tours?
Yes, and this is one of our favorite use cases. Real estate, manufacturing, and corporate campuses use Temi to give remote prospects a guided walking tour. The remote person controls Temi from a browser.
