>in every home? That was the title of a broad-ranging article by Bill 
>Gates on the emergence of the robotics industry in the January 2007 
>issue of Scientific American. Said Gates: "the robotics industry is 
>developing in much the same way the computer business did 30 years 
>ago. Think of the manufacturing robots currently used on automobile 
>assembly lines as the equivalent of yesterday's mainframes... 
>Meanwhile, some of the world's best minds are trying to solve the 
>toughest problems of robotics, such as visual recognition, 
>navigation, and machine learning. And they are succeeding."
>
>If the robotics industry develops as Gates suggests it will, it will 
>open up enormous opportunities for new software and IT applications. 
>NYSIA is combing the region to get the best speakers to discuss the 
>future of the robotics industry.
