I don't think he thought he was robotic enough.

My Stanford housemate's son has built a better robot for less than $500.

Whoa!  Technology is getting a little too far ahead of our abilities to sense where it's taking us.  Even the actual goal of the creator of this robot weirds me out.  It seems there is a need for synthesized affection and understanding?  I mean, Whoa!

Telepresence isn't substituting the person's affection; it's a way for people to connect. Think of it as Skype on wheels. The arm makes it possible for the operator to help out and not simply talk.

Ben got the idea when his grandmother was in the hospital.

I think CornFed was talking about garvin's link, not Shaw's telepresence robot.

Yes.  Thanks CompSci87.  I had not realized the ambiguity.
