Yes, the Canberra Innovation Network (CBRIN) had one of these
tablets-on-wheels to greet people in the foyer and escort them to
reception. It was a bit unnerving when the lift doors opened to see this
thing looking at you and it did not last long.
Also I just discovered CBRIN hosted the start-up "MissingSchool" with
three wheel telepresence robots for sick kids to attend school
virtually. With older teachers now at risk of COVID-19, perhaps the
students should be in the classroom and the teacher remote:
