Robots among us
| Abstract | Bedazzled by the explosion of computers into everyday life, pundits predict a world saturated by communicating chips, in our gadgets, dwellings, clothes, even bodies. But if pervasive computing handles most of our information needs, it will still not clean the floors, take out the garbage, assemble kit furniture or do any of a thousand other other essential physical tasks. The old dream of mechanical servants will remain unmet. | |||||||||
