I found a very interesting article that talks about the explosion of robots into everyday society. Robots, as we pointed out in our presentation, are now involved in almost every area of human life. They are in businesses, military, homes, etc. The main question is going to be one of acceptance. Are people going to embrace this new technology or run from it. A quote from the article addresses this point. "Our biggest hurdle right now is skepticism," Angle said. But "we are just at a point where robots are becoming affordable ... and some of them can actually do real work." The sale of robots increased seven fold in the year 2007. Most of these bots perform relatively simple tasks such as vaccuming and mowing the lawn. As new tech becomes available the possibilities are literally endless. I Robot anyone?
