Telepresence robot to be used in Australian museum

The Australian National Museum together with the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation or CSIRO are working on a robot that will enable students to examine exhibits from different angles in a museum. According to the Sydney Morning Herald, the telepresence robot is expected to begin full operation in November this year. The robot, reportedly still a prototype, has the height of an average adult and will be equipped with a motorized base, with wheels and a 360-degree head sporting a panoramic camera.
