RUR Report 11

It seems I am appallingly late with is update, and it is not from want of material. Everyday more robot type news makes it my way. So it isn't the Jetson's yet but everyday more robots are making their way into our lives (everything is better in Polish plus now I can included this link which is totally unrobot related). When men in science labs started thinking about how robots were going to transform the world it was all about helping out the little house wife. In the days when women were to stay at home and clean it seems that someone had the idea that robots would make not having a job even more enjoyable. I guess back in the days of disposable income it was cool to stay at home and wait for your robot to do the laundry and make dinner. All while you... Don't get me wrong, I would love a life of leisure. But when I lead the life of leisure (those few months between semesters or when I was a kid and didn't have a job) restlessness quickly set in. I guess I don't understand how the rich do it. Maybe I need some lessons.

Robots have come a long way since the days of RollOh and the idea of an obsessive toasters.

Robots are now in the operating room. What what's that you say? Yep, we still don't have a robot that can walk up and down stairs with 100 percent accuracy but we have robots performing surgery. And for the most part I guess the idea is that physicians have to learn to control these little guys. The robots aren't running amok or anything...yet. But if you notice the article suggests that robot surgery isn't all its cracked up to be. I guess the blame is really on the physicians that need more work in the simulator. Ahem, with the DS (PS Way to go Spain - it took me like 30 min to figure out how to remove that glass), Wii, XBox or PS3 (so sue me there aren't any games for the PS3 let alone games about surgery).
