Today's most advanced videoconferencing equipment, installed in dedicated meeting rooms, delivers startlingly vivid images and sounds from afar. It can cost hundreds of thousands of dollars to equip each room, however, and in most offices many fruitful meetings happen informally, in people's offices or at the water-cooler. Now a new and radically different approach to videoconferencing is helping overcome both shortcomings. "Robotic telepresence", as the technology is known, allows people to move virtually through a distant building by remotely controlling a wheeled robot equipped with a camera, microphone, loudspeaker and screen displaying live video of its pilot's face. Telepresence robots cannot match the audio-visual fidelity of a good, large-screen videoconferencing installation, with its carefully calibrated lighting, eye-lines and audio. But the robots cost much less and are more flexible. Several start-ups are introducing new telepresence robots this year, and sales are growing as costs fall.
