Texai and Big Bang Theory
Six months after the first 25 Texai were built, a fury of interest came about culminating in press coverage in:
- the NYTimes – The Boss Is Robotic, and Rolling Up Behind You
- the XPrize Foundation – Sergey Brin gives his speech via a Texai
- the IEEE Spectrum – How I Became a Texai Robot and Went Partying
- the MIT Technology Review – Open-Source Robots Distributed
- the Times UK – Robots bring telepresence to stay-at-home workers
Our crowning achievement was when the producers of The Big Bang Theory contacted us to borrow a Texai for an episode.
If not for the amazing work of the Texai team, this opportunity would have been missed. The Texai team deserves all the credit for an amazing effort.
