The Robots Are Coming

The Vancouver Sun has a great article about the development of robots, and their short term future --
The Robots Are Coming. It looks into some current robotic systems with interesting properties, like a robotic waiter that wanders around until you call it over and ask it to do something for you.

The article does explain that many have made predictions about the advent of robots, which have all flopped miserably. But apparently, things are different this time, due to "advances in artificial intelligence and the galloping speed at which computer power is becoming simultaneously faster and cheaper". I have to agree, but definitely not with their 5 year time span!
