Texas Robot - Bosses Avatar

About the company Willow Garage - one of the main developers of Robot Operating System on Habré wrote repeatedly. One of the activities of the company is the creation of a robot for video Texas.

In fact, the machine is a monitor with a built-in webcam and a Wi-Fi access point, which is located on a mobile platform and is powered by a large battery. The robot is able to drive itself to the outlet for recharging, and the battery lasts for 8-10 hours.

The reason for which video needed to create a special unit - personalization. A robot with bosses ranting on the screen can drive you to a smoking room, you can knock a friend on a teme or kick it when the car has turned away. All this contributes to a more informal communication, and thus increases the comfort of work.

When sales begin in Willow Garage is not reported. So far, only the Texas demo has been built.
