As I have said before, I am really interested in building prototypical robots that exhibit telepresent features. Research as to whether these robots are feasible and possible comes from several sources, but I was really interested in one article from Wired News about a robot called Wakamaru. Basically it is a robot that not only assists people in their homes, but it also allows family members to check up on their loved ones and "virtually" visit them through the robot. If interested, check it out here.
