So, you might ask, where have you been all this time? Aren’t things getting a bit exciting nowdays?
Enjoy the best of the bunch:
- Bell Labs developing Nethead, a cheaper teleconferencing robot – Yes, another player entering the market with a new remote presence system. As per the article in The Verge, although Nethead is currently only a research project, Bell Labs says the robot could be commercialized in two years and sold at a cost likely in the “hundreds,” not the “tens of thousands” often required for telepresence setups.
(h/t from slashdot and tyrgr) - Anybots Roundup – and now, while much has not been discussed on the topic of telepresence robots, Anybots has been getting a great deal of press from a video on AOL entitled “Anybots Robot Can Attend Meetings For You” and Lord British’s gets some press on having his Anybot tooling around his Texas office
- iRobot CEO: Enough with the gimmick ‘bots (Q & A) – So Colin once again puts a spin on things having to do with gimmicky and cute. Worth reading – but you can also read the interview Colin gave us back in March. Sounds very similar. Now if only we could get others to make more entrepreneurial ventures.
its really awesome things that happening in robotic technology
