| 2005 has been an incredible year for robotics, with the | | | | Colony. Robots will become smarter using the latest |
| iRobot going public and the use of surveillance robots | | | | artificial intelligence, thus be much more suited to serve |
| in the War on Terror. Indeed we have seen in 2005 a | | | | us as a helping hand. Not only at home entertaining our |
| car drive fully autonomously thru the desert over 200 | | | | pets and vacuuming the house, mowing the lawn or |
| miles with no driver or remote control in the Famous | | | | fetching us a cold one from the fridge, but also |
| DARPA Grand Challenge Part II. In 2005 robots | | | | assisting us in driving our cars, running our railroads and |
| assisted in the Pakistan Earthquake to search for | | | | flying our planes.Luckily for us we are already bringing |
| survivors and also after Hurricanes Katrina and Rita | | | | up the next generation of robotic scientists to assist us |
| when there was no way for anyone to get thru. Still | | | | in our robotic future. There are contests going on all |
| we see robotics in that region monitoring lake water | | | | over the United States in Grade School, High School |
| quality and assisting in environmental controls.Will 2006 | | | | and Colleges to build better, more capable and smarter |
| be a repeat in the robotics industry as these trends | | | | robotic systems. This will help us with new innovations |
| continue. Yes, this will be the case but there will be a | | | | in every human endeavor from healthcare to public |
| quickening of the pace. Not only here on Earth but also | | | | safety and to new Worlds as mankind reaches out to |
| in another race, that is to say the race for space. | | | | boldly go. Think on this.Lance Winslow - Online Think |
