The double robot does seem kind of cool, but the cynical me wonders, if you have your ipad in this unit on the other side of the world, what would stop someone from just walking up to it, and taking your ipad? For that matter, what would stop them from taking the whole thing, since it only weighs 15 pounds, and costs $2K. Seems like a relative easy payday for someone who wants to pick it up and walk away...

You dial up your skype call to your double in the Louvre, trying to view some spectacular art, instead see the inside of a storeroom of some Parisian named Louie, and the 6 other doubles there, as well as an assortment of stolen televisions and some pick pocketed wallets and some guy's watch.

I suppose if you happen to be lucky enough to observe Louie stealing your double, I suppose you can make it yell out, "Help, I am being stolen!"

I will add this idea to my signature. I suspect that well done is also better than well seen.

All that said, it is kind of an interesting technology.
