Hehe, couple this with the amazon mechanical turk and you can have <i>real</i> I (instead of AI) controlling telepresence robots to do work.<p>Rent-a-brain for remote control of your robot to do the chores, such as laundry, vacuum cleaning and feeding the animals.<p>I can see a tele-operated McDonalds capped robot smiling and saying 'hi may I help you' with a bit of an accent in your near future.<p>Outsourcing is about to enter a whole new phase.
I was at the bots today and there were 5 QBs in various stages of construction. I knew it would look impressive when there were n of them, but I was still surprised.<p>(The article has it slightly wrong. The QA was the previous model.)
Any word on price? My gut tells me that something that relies on off-the shelf tech will be easier to adopt since we could keep the price points lower.
