Robots You'll Want to Buy In 2008 {Switched.com}
Jan 15th 2008 12:40AM Very nice Mr. Bruce. However the whole point of robotics is that the entity be autonomous, as opposed to relying on telepresence. This means concentrating on the software ( i.e. machine intelligence). By the way, I noticed DARPA's ugly head in the article, so thanks, but no thanks. I would rather tinker in my own little lab and make no money than to help them even a little bit. I'm with you, Matt.

Jan 15th 2008 12:20AM Patrick, be patient awhile longer. Many of us left the field of research because the military took what we developed for their own means. Can you imagine what they would do if we perfected the art of myoelectronics when they already kill by remote control? However, when I left the field, there were promising developments by the younger researchers. And don't forget market forces. They are already generating quite a bit of funding for activity in this field. Do the best you can for awhile and keep pressure on the medical engineering companies. Good Luck.
