The Key Differences Between Temi and Temi-Go

When exploring robotic solutions for your business or personal use, understanding the distinction between the Temi and Temi-Go platforms is crucial for making the right investment. Both robots come from the same manufacturer but serve fundamentally different purposes. Let’s break down the key differences to help you choose the right robotic assistant for your needs.

Temi: Your Interactive Personal Assistant Robot

The Temi Robot is an advanced personal assistant robot designed to provide seamless, interactive experiences in both home and business environments, featuring autonomous navigation that allows it to move smoothly around spaces while avoiding obstacles and follow users as they move.

Core Features of Temi

Temi uses Auto Speech Recognition (ASR) and far field voice technology, natural language processing (NLP), speech-to-text and text-to-speech (TTS) engines to hear, identify, understand and respond to the user’s voice. The robot is built for interaction, with a capacitive multi-touch display (1920X1080) IPS LCD with 16M colors that serves as the primary interface.

Temi features a 360-degree lidar, two depth cameras, two RGB cameras, six time-of-flight linear sensors, and an inertial measurement unit (IMU) for precise navigation. The robot’s sensor array enables it to create detailed maps of its environment and navigate autonomously.

Practical Applications

Temi excels in environments where human interaction is paramount. In business settings, Temi serves as a customer service assistant, offering information, guiding visitors, and enhancing engagement with interactive content. The robot enhances office efficiency with advanced AI capabilities for virtual meetings and contactless assistance, while transforming healthcare and assisted living with seamless telehealth services and resident care.

Temi-Go: Purpose-Built Delivery Robot

The Temi-Go represents a completely different approach to robotic assistance. Temi-Go is designed to deliver food, drinks or anything you wish in restaurants, food courts, offices, retail and more, with an autonomous point to point delivery system that takes items from point A to B flawlessly and continues to the next task.

Technical Specifications

The Temi-Go platform has a net weight of 55 lbs (25 kg) and a total weight capacity of 165 lbs (75 kg) with payload. It measures 19.7 inches (50 cm) in diameter with a height of 9.8 inches (25 cm), or 15.3 inches (39 cm) with the low profile ground-cam.

The delivery robot maintains robust navigation capabilities with a map size capacity of 215,278 square feet (20,000 square meters) and can store up to 1000 locations. It moves at a linear speed of 3.2 feet (1 meter) per second with a zero-centimeter spin radius.

Performance Characteristics

Under normal usage, the Temi-Go operates for 8 hours, or 3.5 hours under heavy usage, with an 18-hour standby time. The robot can navigate floors with a maximum barrier height of 0.47 inches (1.2 cm), handle slopes up to 8 degrees, and cross gaps up to 1.57 inches (4 cm).

The sensor system detects obstacles at heights ranging from 4.7 to 59 inches (12 to 150 cm), with ground obstacle detection from 1.9 to 47 inches (5 to 120 cm), and can identify ground obstacles as small as 0.78 inches (2 cm).

Key Differences Summary

Design Philosophy: Temi is built for interaction with humans through voice commands, video calling, and entertainment. Temi-Go is engineered purely for autonomous delivery tasks with minimal human interaction required.

Physical Form Factor: Temi stands approximately 3.2 feet tall with a prominent 10.1-inch touchscreen display. Temi-Go has a low-profile design optimized for carrying trays and navigating through crowded spaces.

Payload Capacity: Temi’s tray can carry objects up to 6.6 pounds, whereas Temi-Go can handle a total payload contributing to its 165 lbs (75 kg) total weight capacity.

Control Interface: Temi-Go is fully controlled by on-screen commands, voice and temi center platform, with a focus on operational efficiency rather than conversational interaction.

Target Environments: Temi thrives in healthcare facilities, offices, hotels, and homes where face-to-face interaction matters. Temi-Go is purpose-built for restaurants, food courts, warehouses, and retail environments where consistent, reliable delivery is the priority.

Subscription Requirements: Temi-Go requires a monthly TEMI CENTER PRO subscription of $99.00 per month, reflecting its commercial focus and fleet management capabilities.

Making the Right Choice for Your Organization

Choosing between Temi and Temi-Go depends entirely on your operational needs. If your business requires a robot that can greet customers, conduct video conferences, provide information, and serve as a mobile interface for various services, Temi is your solution. If you need a workhorse delivery robot to transport food, supplies, or materials efficiently throughout your facility, Temi-Go is the clear choice.

Both platforms share the underlying robust navigation technology that makes them reliable, but their applications couldn’t be more different. Understanding these distinctions ensures you invest in the right robotic solution for your specific requirements.
