Robotic Video Chat Avatars

The 'PadBot T1' Can Carry Around Phones and Tablets During Video Chats

The PadBot T1 lets consumers fulfill the dream of being in two places at once. While video chat is a great way for consumers to connect and be present with people across large distances, video chatters are constrained to where the person on the other end of the stream takes them. The PadBot T1 is a small, crawling robot that allows its user to control it remotely, letting video chatters roam wherever they wish.

The small and portable robot could be used in all sorts of scenarios. For instance, it would be valuable for use in a conference call between a large group, allowing the remote person to interact with different people in the distant conference room more directly.
