The Robo Japan 2008 conference kicked off this weekend where Bandai unveiled an update to its NetTansor robot with the new NetTansorWeb robot. The robot can be controlled remotely via WiFi and uses a set of sensors to avoid obstacles while navigating your home. Its webcam eye allows users to monitor their home when away essentially making the NetTansorWeb a sort of low-budget security guard robot. Boasting the ability to support blogging and news delivery, the robot only has a battery life of 2.5 hours, so like the battery-life-challenged iPhone this is a device only for those satisfied with quick fix gadget use.
