It’s definitely a great idea for me if I could stay at home lying in the sofa watching my favorite TV show and have my robot to wander around in the office to communicate and work with my colleagues. IvanAnywhere seems to be the kind of perfect robot that could do what I’ve been dreaming for.
IvanAnywhere is the robot created by the computer programmer, Ivan Bowman, to be his proxy in the office while he lounges at home. The idea of having this robot is not because of he is the kind of lazy butt like me. It’s simply for the sake for better interactiveness in communication between him and co-workers instead of using only text chatting online. The IvanAnywhere robot is equipped with a camera and touchscreen computer, which allows its creator to have real-time video chat with the coworkers.
The IvanAnywhere robot simply reminds me the Giraffe robot that we’ve seen before. Of course, IvanAnywhere is just a simple DIY creation. The little bit more complicated part could be its software interface. Besides the computer and the camera, it’s also equipped with speakers and it features a motorized wheelbase.
