Can’t make that business meeting in another city? Send your robot instead. We’ve been keeping track of Anybots telepresence robots since they sent one of their QA bots to visit a Singularity University planning meeting. These armless human-sized bots on wheels let you remotely view and interact with people as well as exchange files. You can even let a crowd view the video from a QA by streaming it live through Justin TV. It’s the 21st century way to stay in contact or make a PR push without leaving the office. Up to now the QA hasn’t been openly available for purchase. That looks like it’s about to change. The company’s twitter feed just sent out a teaser photo along with the announcement that “Anybots is starting mass production!” Judging by the picture, there’s about to be a lot more QAs in the world.
Are stacks of plastic exciting? You betcha. We're about to see a whole bunch more telepresence robots come to life thanks to Anybots.
