Telepresence Robot

Double Robotics, a Mountain View-based company, has invented a new type of telepresence robot that is half robot, half iPad.

The Double, as the company calls it, looks like an ultra-simple robot that can navigate a far-off place through two iPads. One acts as the robot’s eyes and ears, and the other controls it through an iPad application.


The Double is expected to start shipping by late 2012 to people who preordered it, for $1,999.
