The main difference from older products is price (and probably availability too). At a price of a plane ticket, it becomes more attractive - if it can reasonably simulate an in-person meeting, which is yet to be determined. I don't think it will replace sales calls just yet, but it's a step forward. Edit: AnyBots is U$ 15.000, so this is an order of magnitude cheaper. And I found on Google TILR at U$ 10.000 http://robodynamics.com/products/ http://robodynamics.com/products/ Plus, I found a hack of an iRobot that claims to give you a similar device for U$ 500 :) http://www.fastcompany.com/1726174/500-irobot-hack-lets-you-be-two-places-once http://www.fastcompany.com/1726174/500-irobot-hack-lets-you-...
