NORFOLK, Va. - Next time you stop in the Baron and Ellin Gordon Art Gallery on the campus of Old Dominion University, you will likely spot someone on the loose. It is a stand in for a human, said Cullen Strawn, Executive Director for the Arts at ODU.
Who - or what - he is referring to is Gordon, a telepresence robot, sort of built like a Segway. People can visit the galleries without leaving their home. In fact, anyone anywhere in the world can, said Strawn.
