According to Engaget.com

"Mobile Mac mini bot hopes to make something of himself in the big city. His wheels are made for rolling, and that's just what he'll do, but he's also got a free-roaming video camera for beaming grainy webcam shots back to mission control. Along for the ride is a 7-inch touch screen, spiffy headlight, and IR range sensors to keep from bumping into things. The bot can be controlled via WiFi or Apple IR remote, and while there isn't much AI to speak of yet, there's plenty of potential with that plucky Mac mini at the helm."
