| Californian company Anybots has developed the 5ft robot called QB which can act as your stand-in if you're working from home, away on business or stuck in a meeting. Controllable by internet from anywhere in the world, you simply log-in online and activate your QB which you park at your usual desk. QB can even trudle around the office joining conversations with colleagues in real time. A camera in the robot's head let's you see where it's going, and if you spot anyone you want to talk to you simply power over to them and engage in conversation through your headset. An Anybots spokesman said: "When you're logged in, the robots eyes are glowing so your colleagues know you're there. "They can just come up to you and ask questions, and you can answer back. If you're needed in a meeting or in the lab, just drive the robot there. Orange Quirky News |
