The hype you often hear about robots suggests they are about to take all our jobs, if not the entire planet. But events like the building collapse in Florida illustrate reality; i.e. robots can be helpful, but not as much as you might expect. spectrum.ieee.org/automaton/robo…


What start by empowering seniors? Per last night's "60 Minutes" story: "We're a nation living longer and longer. Over the next 30 years, the number of Americans age 90 and above is expected to triple..." cbsnews.com/news/long-life…
