Texas Telepresence Robot

Excerpt from ABC7 San Francisco: Dallas Goercker lives in Indiana while he works in Mountain View. This isn't telecommuting. It's telepresence. "Most people in the building didn't know who he was," according to Dallas' boss. "Now, most people in the building think he's a robot."
"That's what they know me as," Dallas acknowledges. "I just drive around with a big smile on my face."
Telecommuting is something different. Dallas' robot is called Texas, developed by him and colleague Curt Meyers at Willow Garage, a robot developer and incubator where they work.
