Telerobotic shopping

I expect that sights like these are going to become much more commonplace over the next 5-10 years. This is an outrageously expensive telerobot, but fundamentally there's no reason why robots like this couldn't be manufactured far more cheaply, since really it's just some motors and a motor controller, a battery and something equivalent to a mobile phone. Any location where you can broadcast video from a mobile phone is a place where a telerobot could potentially be used.
