Applications Here are a few potential applications for a telepresence system using a human operator and an android:

< php echo trim(" Good old PHP!"), "<br>";

.

echo substr("Good old PHP!", 9, 3), "<br>"; echo "'PHP' starts at position ", strpos("Good old PHP!", "PHP"), "<br>"; echo "'Good old PHP!' is ", strlen("Good old PHP!"), " characters long<br>";

Working in extreme heat or cold Working under high pressure, such as on the sea floor Working in a vacuum, such as in space Working where there is dangerous radiation Disarming bombs Handling toxic substances Serving in high-risk police or military situations

This is an expansion area for some game developers, especially for those that have built game content based on toy licenses Toy manufacturers appear to be collaborating more frequently with game developers to provide local wireless toy and game entertainment Some toys feature specific game elements built into the toys in a number of ways, and others offer game interaction among toys as part of a local wireless toy network Think for a moment about the variety of game experiences available to nextgeneration toys with local wireless command centers These command centers can be

Of course, the robot must be able to survive conditions at its location Also, it must have some way to recover if it falls or gets knocked over

connected easily via USB to the PC for online updates, and will broadcast simple game commands to recognized toy units The possibilities are endless for action figures, vehicle armadas of many kinds, and so forth Another offering in this area are dedicated wireless gaming units like the Cybiko Xtreme (wwwcybikoxtremecom/) These units deliver portable gaming and local networking capability for chatting with friends and playing games Figure 9-7 shows the portable Cybiko Xtreme device Common drawbacks to these devices are their retail cost after manufacture, their expandability and upgrade issues, and their inability to draw developers and compelling content due to a lack of a large, sustainable player base Again, developers rarely want to develop for platforms that have not already reached a sizeable audience or shown every indication of reaching a mass audience rapidly Many toy and game companies have explored portable gaming by offering various kinds of hardware The results have varied widely The reason Cybiko has lasted and has evolved its offerings is that it makes an attractive product Other offerings, including the electronic Pikachu toys from the Pokemon games, are popular but remain fairly limited in game and wireless functionality Toy manufacturers face significant risk in recovering research and manufacturing costs for elaborate wireless toys despite the projected fun factor! Some developers are working on solutions to help minimize these costs while maximizing the potency of the offerings with simple yet fun interaction and game elements

Limitations The technology for telepresence has existed for some time But certain logistical problems have always bedeviled engineers committed to developing such systems The most serious limitation is the fact that telemetry cannot, and never will, travel faster than the speed of light in free space This is not a problem over short-range links (a few hundred kilome-
