(Phys.org)—San Francisco based Revolve Robotics has launched a project on Indiegogo (similar to Kickstarter) looking for funding for its KUBI telepresence device. What's unique about their project is the projected cost of the device to consumers – $250 instead of the thousands for others currently available for sale. That price differential is due to the fact that KUBI isn't a robot that wanders around, it's a tablet computer stand with gears for allowing remote manipulate of the viewing angle.
