Ever wanted to be in two places at once? A Cairns woman has created a robot that allows you to do just that.

2012 Young Australian of the Year and technology entrepreneur Marita Cheng, 27, has created a brain-controlled telepresence robot that speaks and moves exactly how you want it to.

The robot, called Teleport, uses a brain control interface called MindWave that allows the user to move the robot by blinking to go left, right, forward or backward.

A touchscreen tablet, cameras and android phone control allows the user to see and talk freely.
