Vgo: Teleconference With a Creepy Robot Scooter Thing

Can’t be there in person? Why not spend Vgo, the creepy telepresence robot scooter thing? Vgo is essentially a little remote control bipedal scooter, with a teleconferencing monitor where his weird, misshapen head ought to be.

When you can’t be at the office, you can still see, talk, hear, and move around the place with Vgo. The device is designed by a company called Vgo Communication. It’s fully remote controlled, has high quality audio and video, which can be controlled from a PC. It also has WiFi, security controls, and sensors, so you don’t bump into things while you’re Vgoing.

There was a Vgo cruising the North Hall of the Las Vegas Convention Center yesterday, during the first day of CES, and I have to say, it seems like its owners were having a good time. Check out video of Mr. Go, after the jump.
