Kubi Connect is the iOS app that connects a Kubi robot to your iPad/iPhone enabling control of the Kubi robot by a remote user on a computer, laptop or other mobile device. Kubi Connect is the latest control interface app for Kubi that will eventually replace the existing Kubi Control app. The Kubi Connect app for iOS enables a Kubi robot to connect automatically to the iPad mounted on the Kubi robot via Bluetooth and makes the Kubi available for remote control via the device’s WiFi or Cellular Data connection to the internet. A second iPad or iPhone that also has the app installed, can then be used to control the Kubi remotely, using the Kubi Connect app’s simple, intuitive user interface. Kubi Connect supports iOS Split Screen / Slide Over mode. If your video conferencing software supports iOS Split Screen / Slice Over mode, you can use your iPad to video conference on one side of the screen and run Kubi Connect side by side on the split screen. If your video conferencing software does not support iOS Split Screen mode, simply install Kubi Connect on your iPhone and control the Kubi from there while you video conference on your iPad. For more information on how to control Kubi on other devices and platforms, visit the Kubi website www.kubiconnect.com.
