Think you can relax because your boss isn’t around? You better watch out, the HeadThere Giraffe Robot is designed as a remote controlled mobile videoconferencing robot.  You can control the robot via the Internet.

The Giraffe is composed of two subsystems: the client application (left), and the device itself (right). The Giraffe device: The Giraffe robot is composed of a video screen and camera mounted on an adjustable height robotic base. The Giraffe user operates the robot to maintain a presence at a remote location. Using the robot, the user can see and hear far-away people, and the far away people can also see and hear the user. The user can move the Giraffe device from afar using the client application. The client application: Software that runs on a standard PC and webcam, the client application connects the user to the distant Giraffe through the Internet. The client makes it easy to move the Giraffe so that the user can interact with anyone at anytime, anywhere in the remote location. (headthere)
