It's the 21st century, so why is your biological body still traveling to visit distant people and places or carrying an iPad around when this cool new Double Robotics Robot will handle such tasks for you. This innovative robot is basically just a self-balancing, motorized iPad stand that allows you to be in two places at once via roving telepresence.

Just slip one iPad onto the stand of the Double Robot and then control it from afar via a second iPad. It's iPad head becomes your face broadcasting from your iPad's camera and its remote camera is now your vision. Your robotic avatar can then be controlled to roll around, explore, and communicate with others in a home, business, school, hospital, or anywhere you want to be without actually being there.

Just watch the video below and as amazing as this is to have now (only $2500), imagine where this tech will be in 5 years, 10 years, 15, years... So cool, but SIRI could get seriously annoying with the freedom of mobility in the future.
