In the past few years, we have covered plenty of expensive telepresence robots here. Many of them are too expensive for the average person though. The Oculus is a telepresence robot kit with motorized frame and software to turn any laptop into a web controlled robot.
You will be able to control your robot from your iOS or Android device. Oculus has an adjustable frame that can hold a variety of small laptops. It supports 2-way audio & video. It also has an Arduino compatible microcontroller.
