--(BUSINESS WIRE)--HP (NYSE:HPQ)

What: "Fridays at Labs" -- a series giving media the opportunity
to check out technologies and meet today`s thought
leaders at HP Labs in Palo Alto, Calif.

Next event: "HP Travel Robot Lets You Be Two Places at Once."

Face it, business travel isn`t what is used to be. SARs, terrorism and cost-cutting are just some of the reasons many companies are reducing or eliminating travel. However, the global economy still demands national and international collaboration for successful businesses. And as any executive will attest, the telephone, e-mail and even video conferences aren`t as good as actually "being there."

But HP Labs researchers are working on a way to take remote communication to the next level. They have created a robot with 360-degree audio and life-size video that can roam the halls of a remote site, all controlled via a wired or wireless network. The system essentially allows a person to be in two places at the same time, using the robot as a stand in: Attend a meeting, wander from office to office and even whisper an aside to someone -- all from a thousand miles away.

Reporters are invited to come and see a demonstration at HP Labs and try their hand at driving their own personal robot doppelganger.

When: Friday, May 23, 10-11 a.m. PST

Where: HP Labs, 1501 Page Mill Road (at Peter Coutts Road)
