All of these issues sound like they should be fairly easy to resolve with the tech. The unit should have an internal map of the company and know where each employees desk is, you shouldn't have to manually drive it around an unknown office, thats just crazy! I'm sure the fact that it doesn't is a result of it still being in the novelty phase, but I would think the industry might get serious about this technology as teams become more and more distributed. Anything that simulates the effect of presence is going to be very valuable and detrimental to the communication of the future distributed workforce. I think VR/AR will ultimately take over this space, but these roving camera/screen's might be a good interim solution.
