It may look like a floor lamp mounted on a vacuum cleaner, but Anybots, Inc.'s new QB is actually the latest in surrogate robotics. QB is designed to serve as your eyes, ears and voice when you can't be there in person. Even better, it's mobile, rolls around on two wheels like Rosie (from The Jetsons) and can be navigated remotely via the Web and a Wi-Fi connection.(via Scientific American)
I want one of these! I'm already mildly obsessed with robots AND laziness, so combining the two so I can get the inside scoop at the office from the comfort of my overstuffed, oreos-at-arms-length couch sounds like the greatest idea EVER.
