I read this interesting paper by Jenay M. Beer about older adults using a remote robot to allow them to 'tele-communicate' with others in different locations (published in the Proceedings of the 6th international conference on Human-robot interaction - HRI '11) The robot (with screen) was developed by Willow Garage's.
For me the main findings was the question about 'etiquette' on using the remote presence. Do we have an etiquette for using Skype?
Also, this concern must affect groups of all ages not just the older adults, or?
