As expected, there's already a long line to get the phone outside that store, but one of the line's occupants isn't a person; it's a telepresence robot.</p> <!--break--> <p>Mashable (http://mashable.com/2015/09/24/robot-iphone-6s/#FEg05Aa9hmq3) reports:</p>

<p>In the smartest time management yet seen in an iPhone line, Lucy Kelly has outsourced the job to a telepresence robot, also called Lucy. It is an iPad attached to a Segway-type device that allows a person to be somewhat physically present despite not being there.</p> <p>The robot arrived to take the position of fourth-in-line at the flagship Apple Store on George Street at 5 a.m. Thursday, with Kelly communicating through it from 6 a.m. It is believed to be the first time a robot has lined up and purchased an iPhone.</p>

<p>Kelly works at a local media agency and controls the robot from that location. It will stay in line overnight inside a tent that includes a charger. Kelly will stay awake during that time and, if all goes as planned, she will be able to buy the iPhone 6s at the store with no direct human interaction.</p> <p>Source: Mashable (http://mashable.com/2015/09/24/robot-iphone-6s/#FEg05Aa9hmq3)</p> </div></div></div><br clear='all'/>
