\"\"<\/a>There are some many buzz words I could have used with this, but basically, its a remote control robot with a camera and computer screen. And thats cool enough right?\u00a0 However, I’m not sure this would really take off as the creators have in mind.\u00a0 The idea is that you can have an autonomous remote presence instead of being stuck in a conference room screen.\u00a0 And how did I hear about this? I just say it as an advert on my site! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

So basically, imagine you have a remote team of engineers, or customer service agents, or you just like to scare the hell out of you kids while on a business trip, then this could be your ticket.\u00a0 Imagine sneaking into little Billy’s room when he is suppose to be getting in the morning and yelling at home remotely from across the globe?\u00a0 Course, if you dress up this robot as Darth Vader that could be even cooler. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

All kidding aside, there is a point for this.\u00a0 I’m a big believer to walking to people in my office to ask a question rather then using email.\u00a0 So if I have to work away from the office for an extended period, I can use this guy to do the walking for me. Course, from the video its walk speed is pretty slow.\u00a0 That would drive me crazy.. no pun intended…<\/p>\n

Still its pretty sweet.\u00a0 Check out some of the details on this little gem.<\/p>\n
