The future of robotics

I recently had an offhand discussion at work on robotics. It was just a lunchtime conversation, but it got me wondering. There are a number of companies (and countries) which are taking this much further than just talking about it. Real work is being done, and some amazing results are taking place. After a basic search on the subject, I ran across this BBC program made earlier this year. It's pretty fascinating.

Watch How Robots Will Change the World, and see if you find yourself wanting to know more. I'm certainly intrigued.

Google has also been interested in the subject. Check out this article just published in the December 14,2013 edition of Business Insider - Google Just Bought A Company That Makes Absolutely Insane Robots. There is a video of Big Dog included. Watch this cool demonstration.
