Telepresence Robots Take Over

Telepresence Robots Take Over Telepresence Robots Take Over You are a chief engineer at a medical device manufacturing company that has locations in California, Germany, and China. A new device thats being manufactured in China has a problemmechanical and softwareand while you are in California, your software engineer is located in Germany. Imagine if both experts could move around the Chinese facility, examine the device closely, and resolve the issue remotely without having to hop on a plane? Telepresence robots can make that happen.Enabling people to connect remotely and participate in any working environment without being physically present, telepresence robotics is gradually gaining ground in the manufacturing, healthcare, education, and corporate sectors. Telepresence robots, which primarily function on the Internet, are being used for a variety of applications such as attending meetings when working from home, managing distance education, conducting patient rounds in hospitals , and also touring manufacturing facilities.ersatzdarsteller is a robot that works on the iPad. Image Double RoboticsMobile PlatformIf every important conversation that happened in the office happened in a meeting, we would be fine. Most often important conversation happens outside the meeting, sometimes after it, by the water fountain, says Marc DeVidts, president and co-founder of California-based Double Robotics, a Y Combinator backed company that has created an iPad-based robotic telepresence platform. Double is basically a two-wheeled balancing robot that works on the iPad and allows you to move around and join people in any location. It puts you in control of the conversation rather than relying on somebody else, adds DeVidts.Weighing only 15 pounds, Double is a set of motorized wheels with an extensible iPad stand. A user attaches one iPad to the Double and uses abedrngnisher one to control the robot in a remote location. Setting up Double is as easy as downloading an app on your iPad. You can stay at eye level by adjusting your height remotely, which makes conversations fluid and real, says DeVidts.The user controls Double via an iPad from a remote location.Image Double RoboticsDoubles customers so far have been businessessmall to corporateand they are using it for different purposes, says DeVidts, such as real estate agents using it in homes and remote workers of an office with multiple locations who want to be more connected.Remote CommunicationRobotic telepresence provides value if you need to move around and determine when you go, when you arrive. If you just want to do a call with a bunch of people in a conference room, there are Polycom, Skpye, and other tools, says Tim Lenihan, director of business strategy at Anybots, Santa Clara, CA, a company that has been building web-based communication systems for over a decade now. We look for applications that have a strong value and where you clearly cannot use fixed video conferencing, he adds.The QB A vatar robot enables people to connect remotely and participate in any working environment. Image AnybotsAnybots QB Avatar takes up only as much space as a person and weighs 32 pounds. The height is adjustable, from 2 feet, 8 inches to 6 feet, 2 inches, so remote users can interact with those sitting down or standing up. It can also work in multiple professional environments with multiple audiences.Our device works really well in crowded situations where traditionally you could not put a robotic device in the past, says Lenihan. One of those situations where you could put a robot like that is enterprise space. For instance, as a CEO of a company with different locations, I want to be able to walk around and talk to people. Another example is when an expert might need to be in three different locations on the same day. A remote expert can be in different locations at the same time virtually and move around the space through telepresence.Engineers at Anybots are trying to make their ro bots more nimble and safer. We are really good at balance for safety and low latency video stream. In the recent months, we have been working with Cisco to use their video conferencing and integrating with our drive platform, says Lenihan.Everyone is trying to reach a different market, says DeVids, adding that our aim is to make a lighter, cheaper, easier to use version of a robot. To remove the robotic element and make it more like facetime on wheels.Expensive TechnologyThe average cost of telepresence robots ranges from $15,000 for high-end devices to about $1,000 for low-end consumer-focus robots. Anybots QB Avatar is priced approximately $10,000 and the iPad-controlled Double costs around $2,000. Even though many other companies such as iRobot, Vgo, MantaroBot, RoboDynamics, Bossa Nova Robotics, and Suitable Technology are developing telepresence robots and prices are dropping, the technology is still expensive. However, industry experts believe as this technology becomes ubiqui tous, the prices are expected to decrease.Earlier this year, the FDA approved iRobot RP-VITA telepresence robot for use in hospitals to monitor patients. When you look at the future, you landsee different technologiesmobile, cloud, robotics, telepresenceconverging and having application in multiple fields, says Lenihan.It is really interesting to see what we can do by just being able to drive around and interact with people, how much precision control we can have over a robot remotely, and that kind of thing wouldnt be possible years ago, says DeVidts.

Negative Consequences of Sexual Behavior on Your Career

Negative Consequences of Sexual Behavior on Your CareerNegative Consequences of Sexual Behavior on Your CareerWomen who wear short skirts that display a lot of leg may be overlooked for promotion and pay increases. So says a recent study conducted by Tulane University. Overt sexual behavior at work, whether men and women are consciously aware of it, or not, can submarine your career. Tulane professor Arthur Brief and colleagues Suzanne Chan-Serafin, Jill Bradley and Marla Watkins searched recent studies and literature and found little about the consequences of sexy dressing and sexual behavior at work. (Most available research studied sexual harassment.) So, they conducted their own study that was presented at an Academy of Management annual meeting. The study sought to measure whether sexy dressing and sexual behavior negatively had an impact on the careers of women- and the researchers found that they did. According to the article in USA Today, in the first study to make plain the negative consequences of such behavior, 49% of 164 female MBA graduates said in a survey that they have tried to advance in their careers by sometimes engaging in at least one of 10 sexual behaviors, including crossing their legs provocatively or leaning over a table to let men look down their shirts. Consequences of Engaging in Sexual Behavior and Sexy Dress The researchers found that the women who claimed that they never engaged in such sexual behavior had earned an average of three promotions. Women who stated that they had engaged in flirting and other overt sexual behavior had only earned two promotions. Women who did not engage in the sexual behavior earned, on average, in the $75,000 to $100,000 income range the women who did earn, on average, $50,000 to $75,000. While these results are new and the study may not reflect the results of additional research, the results are striking for two reasons. First, the percentage of women who admit they have engaged in sexual behavio r such as sending flirty or risqu emails telling a coworker that he looks hot and emphasizing their sexuality while at work by the way they dress, speak, and act, is remarkable. Second, the negative impact of the behavior on the womens careers taps into the gut feeling most HR professionals and managers have held for years. Recently, in a sales office, a young woman wearing low rider pants and a short, tight, stylish top leaned over her briefcase to remove her computer. Half of her back was displayed to the whole office, and the people surrounding her cubicle had all eyes focused on her. Our entrance caused several to look away with guilty expressions and all were noticeably embarrassed. In another office, an applicant for a managerial position asked us why several young women were wearing lingerie to work. A newly hired manager, in the same office, came to HR and suggested that a dress code would be a good idea. She had been embarrassed taking a customer to her office. Recommend ed Actions to Address Sexual Behavior and Sexy Dress at Work Individual Now that the negative consequences of sexual behavior and sexy dressing at work have been demonstrated, if you are an individual, take a look at how you dress for success in yourworkplace. Tops that cling and show cleavage belong on the beach or in a dance club. If you are uncomfortable sitting where your legs are in view, chances are, your skirt is too short for work. Tank tops belong on the beach or in the exercise room. Additional ways of dressing, while not sexually provocative, are still ill-advised if you want career success. Flip flops or casual sandals dont work in the office either. In addition to being a safety hazard, (dropped items, stubbed toes) who wants to look at a bunch of bare feet in a professional work setting? Sloppy, dirty, unpressed, and torn clothing present an image that will never earn a promotion for you. Even if everyone else is wearing trendy, tight tops and T-shirts, dress for the job you want to have next. Decision makers will appreciate your efforts to dress professionally. Examine your actions at work.Do you send inappropriate emails, view inappropriate material online, call peoplehot or sexy, display your physical self inappropriately, or touch other employees? Your actions could submarine your career. The people who make decisions about promotions, customer contact, andpay raisesare watching your behavior. Appearances matter. If you binnensee your own actions in any of this material, do they matter enough to you to make the changes necessary for career success? After all, the statements measured in the Tulane study were taken directly from behavior that individuals had witnessed at work. Employeror Manager The cited research gives you factual information you can use to improve the professional behavior and dress code in your office. While people from differentculturesand in different parts of the country have different ways of dressing for work, sexy is generally out. Sexually provocative behavior can also bring charges of sexual harassment orhostile work environment, so it behooves you, as an employer, to address professional dress and actions. It is recommended that you take these actions. Make sure you have appropriate policies in place. Asexual harassment policyis required. A formal complaint process is essential. Anon-fraternization policyis important as well as a nepotism policy. A code of employee conduct that defines professionalism provides additional support.Develop adress codethat is well-supported by your managers and supervisors. They will have to enforce the policy when their reporting staff members dress sexily or unprofessionally for work.Hold training sessions on the policies recommended in the first two points, especially on what constitutes sexual harassment. Marianne Newton, an HR Generalist at a Dexter, MI-based firm,ReCellular, Inc,suggested holding an employee fashion show so employees could see what clothing is appropriate for business casual or professional dress.? You may need to speak directly to employees that engage in sexual behavior. Managers who have good relationships with their employees, assisted by menschlich Resources staff, when needed, can point out to people the error of their ways. Sexual behavior must be corrected to maintain aworkplaceculture that is comfortable and not harassing for all.Recently, a California court found that the preferential treatment of an employee, with whom the boss was having an affair, hadconstituted sexual harassmentagainst several other employees. This is just another example of why, as an employer, you need to address inappropriate behavior. Be prepared that you may need to talk with people individually who consistently break the dress code. Some companiessendinappropriately dressed employees home. Others useprogressive disciplinary actionwhen needed to enforce the policy. A well-written, broadly developed dress code, along with training in what constitutes sexual harassment or a hostile work environment, will send your employees a clear message about what is appropriate at work. The Tulane study reinforces the need for and the professionalism required of your policies, particularly for women seeking career success. Sexual behavior and sexy clothing at work are not only an employers potential harassment nightmare. Sexual behavior and sexy clothing at work would appear to submarine promising careers, too.

We dont see each other as often as we should, but when we can catch up, I always come away thinking about something in a way I hadnt before, he writes.Haigh continues, saying that today, another mentor of mine is taking his next step, and muses about what that will mean for the future.

Say thank youThe fruchtwein crucial element of any thank-you letter is often the most overlooked. Recruiters say they want to see the words thank you in the letter. While this may seem obvious, there are certain points to remember. Say thank you. Dont just beat around the bush about it.

Leave a lasting impression. Here are two examples of job-winning thank-you sentencesThank you for offering me the opportunity to meet with you.

Use your interview thank-you note to show the team you actually care about them and the time they spent with you. Hiring managers receive several hundred dull, impersonal notes each year. Keep it professional, but also make them smile. Mention something that came up in the interview or a mutual interest you know of.

For example, you may have skimmed over some of your community engagement and would like to show how your extracurricular activities fit into your career. The job interview thank-you note should include a new question or point you missed. Think back to the interview and the answers you received. Take time to include a sentence to expand on an answer or category. Here are two examplesDuring the interview, we discussed the importance of making clients feel welcomed. While working at company, I encouraged clients to share more about themselves byAs we discussed, I counsel disadvantaged youth during the summer. One of the programs I am passionate about is7. Use correct spelling and gramma rOne of the fastest ways to disappoint the recruiter is bad spelling and grammar. Not only is this sloppy and lazy, but it also shows the recruiter you dont care and arent willing to take the time to ensure mistakes are avoided. Yes, we all make mistakes, but there is no excuse for language mistakes in a thank-you letter. Microsoft Word has an excellent proofreading tool and should be utilized. After writing the letter, check it using your computers proofreader. Next, read the letter out loud to catch any mistakes missed by Word. Keep in mind, Word often misses similarly spelled words and usage. For example, manger is mistaken for manager, and to is mistaken for too. Double check your information as well. Hiring managers take offense to misspelled names and incorrect addresses. Make sure its Stevens and not Stephens.TakeawaysWriting a thank-you letter after your interview is more than just simply saying thank you. There are several points to reiterate, items to expand upon, informat ion to clarify, and a thank you or two to say. When writing your thank-you letter, carefully consider the interview. Go back over your notes and determine at least five main points to revisit in the letter.Most importantly, consider what youd like to see in a job interview thank-you note. Ask yourself these questions. How would I like to be treated? Did I show them I value their time and help? Are there any points I would like to understand further?
