If you haven't noticed, we have jumped over the line separating science fiction from science fact. In this episode, another example... the large number of bipedal robots that are either already in production and for sale, or will be within a year or so. These are, of course, in addition to the large number of both rolling and stationary mounted robots that have been in work places for years now.
This episode is a bit of a laundry list of just some of the bipedal robots entering our workplaces and homes soon, very soon. Many of these are called "General Purpose" robots, capable of doing many different tasks. We'll see robots ranging from factory and warehouse work to retail store work. While prices vary, there are certainly some that are cheaper than an automobile. Let's talk about it.
Remember, you can ignore technology, but it won’t ignore you.
