Want to have a party but don't have enough money for extra help? Use the Brown REU Interns' Virtual Waiting Service! This program provides professional waiting services that are more efficient than hiring a plethora of waiters. With this service, you would need at most 2 people to deliver and serve whatever you would like (satisfying a weight and size requirement). An iRobot Create is fitted with a carrying tray and a Lenovo Netbook with a Linux operating system (Ubuntu 10.10). The robot can be operated through any web browser that supports web sockets i.e. Google Chrome or Safari. It is equipped with a PS3 camera for navigation as well as the Tokbox webcam for telepresence communication through the Internet.
