Crazy Idea #1: Robot Dating

NEW SCIENTIST – Nov 13 – Devon attends Elementary School, as a robot!  He has allergies that prevent him from attending school so he attends from home via his 1.5m tall Segway-like robot called VGo (current price $6k). He navigates between classrooms by peering through a camera and talks via a real-time video screen. Eventually telepresence robots will be controlled by thought alone and transmit a sense of touch back.

Mark Brooks: In ten years women will send their robots to scout out first dates. Robotic surgery and warfare is a reality now.  Next up, remote rendezvous? How will your dating site help? Also see Anybots @ $10k, and DoubleRobotics @ $2k. Still laughing? This is a crazy idea.
