It may look like a floor lamp mounted on a vacuum cleaner, but Anybots,
Inc.'s new QB is actually the latest in surrogate robotics. QB is
designed to serve as your eyes, ears and voice when you can't be there
in person. Even better, it's mobile, rolls around on two wheels like
Rosie (from The Jetsons) and can be
navigated remotely via the Web and a Wi-Fi connection.
Telecommuting workers and traveling executives alike could use QB (so
named because it is the next in line after the company's prototype QA bot) as a
virtual extension of themselves, allowing them to attend meetings, tour
facilities or perform walk-throughs of real estate properties, all while
controlling the robot from a computer keyboard.
