I think robotics is in a lull, and will be for a few years. This of those out there (pleo, roomba, packbot, kiva, anybots), and you'll find they are all "dumb".

I think robotics is in a lull, and will be for a few years. This of those out there (pleo, roomba, packbot, kiva, anybots), and you'll find they are all "dumb". Interesting physical intelligence like BigDog isn't really a product. It will be a few years before any intelligent robots come out. 6-10 years is a good time frame to start a robotics business.
