Sergey Brin talks via a telepresence robot

Sergey Brin, the co-founder of Google took center stage at the Google Lunar X-Prize conference ... while being physically absent. But how, you ask us? He used a Texai telepresence robot by Willow Garage. This type of robot is quite simply the future of teleconferencing. It's very practically when the person can't travel and is efficient because the robot acts like a real human presence by displaying the face on the screen (the head). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIett_q3eHo via gawker
