Turn Your Old iPad Into A Robot That You Can Send to Meetings

Rather than give your old iPad to your grandmother, for $1,999, you can buy it a set of wheels and turn it into a robot version of yourself that can attend meetings for you in far away locations.

Sound crazy? It’s real. A company called Double Robotics is selling “Wheels for your iPad,” and billing the tool as the “most elegant way to be somewhere else in the world without flying there.” Essentially it is a set of wheels and a pole that you can attach your iPad 2 or 3 to that you can control remotely, communicating using the tablet’s camera through the Double app.
