DIY Telepresence Robot Lets You Work At Work In Your Undies

By Kit Eaton on November 7, 2008 at 9:00 PM

Telepresence robots pop up in different guises, including the Rovio (which lacks a screen to truly telepresence your image), but now there’s this DIY project to follow to build your own. At core Sparky the robot has a Mac-Mini, motorised carriage and a Make controller board—though you can use an arduino—and some custom software that works around Skype. Buy the gear, or cobble together your own from spare odds and sods, and you too can work at work while simultaneously sprawling on your sofa in your undies. Like we do. [Instructables via Hacknmod]
