Aussie man remotely attends tech conference in Israel with help of 'robot on wheels'

An Australian technology lecturer managed to attend a conference in northern Israel with the help of an iPad connected to a robot on wheels.

Footage shows the iPad adorning the man's face while a robot that had wheel wore a suit jacket.

The man who was still in Australia was able to chat with others at the meetup and even present a lecture to others on the future of robotics.

Alas, he was not able to indulge in the offerings of pizza and beer.
