We’ve been hanging out in Boston at the ESC show. Yesterday was a busy day with lot’s to look at and lot’s of folks at our booth. Some human, some not. The Freescale people, just a few booths down, brought along a tele-presence robot.
The little guy wandered here and there a bit. It’s a cool concept, but I think it didn’t quite live up to it’s potential. They really should have registered it as an attendee. It did have a little card hanging around it’s neck, but I don’t see why it couldn’t have had a genuine show badge. If it were me, I would have had it actually stopping by booths, talking to people and collecting goodies.
Still, it was a fun demo and, presumably, an example of Freescale chips in action.
