Anybots Officially Launches QB Telepresence Robot

Writing by Evan Ackerman on Tuesday, 1 of June , 2010 at 12:28 am

We first introduced you to Anybots’ QA telepresence robot back in January of 2009 at CES. QA was pretty slick looking, with features like a bendy waist and an LCD tie and a pricetag of about $30k. QB, a stripped down slimmer version of QA showed up about 9 months later, and now Anybots has announced the official launch of QB.

All QB needs to be fully functional is you plus a computer on one end, and it plus wireless internet on the other. It has a top speed of 3.5 mph and will run for a solid eight hours per charge. The Anybots QB telepresence robot will be available this fall for $15,000, which seems like a lot… But, compared to the cost of (say) hiring a new employee and paying for them to relocate, or flying people back and forth across the country all the time, a $15k telepresence robot may make sense for a lot of businesses.
