  Real World Interfaces were used in all of the research. The Magellan Two and the Magellan Pro are almost equivalent except for some minor specification differences. The Magellan Pro has an onboard Pentium II-350 processor and a Sony Pan-Tilt Zoom Camera, while the Magellan II has a P3-450 and a Canon VC-C4 PTZ camera. Each of the robots is equipped with BreezeNet 3Mbps Wireless Ethernet. The robots are also fully translational, meaning that they can turn on their centers, requiring no extra room.
