iRobot ConnectR allows you to virtually visit with family, friends, and pets any time you want. Using proprietary iRobot Virtual Visiting software, a PC, and the robot's audio and video, you can access ConnectR via the Internet and drive the robot around your home to see, hear and interact with whomever and whatever you want.

Whether working late, traveling, living afar, or just checking in, ConnectR is the ideal way to stay connected and involved when you can't be there in person.

My friend Cameron once suggested robots like this could be used to travel. Hire a robot in a foreign city and drive it around with your virtual reality headset to see the sights... No need to risk air travel.
