As a student in an engineering class, we took a few field trips to several local factorys to see the manufacturing processes. It was the most interesting thing I have seen in a long time. I saw robots take a big hunk of metal and forn it into a shiny clutch plate for a cooling fan. It was so neat , as I stood there amazed that this robot Picked up this piece and took it through several tools that its arm changed all by itself!. Ihere was another one that also did all the measuring and Q C of other types of parts. Robots in the form of manufacturing are here to stay, and I think the type of robots to do everyday tasks for us or some of us lazy peeps are not only on there way, but very close to being here to stay!

There have just appeared two contrasting stories on the utilization of robots in the "real world":

First,  a miniature 5 gram robot that that enters patient bodies through incisions to perform medical procedures -- complete with minicamera and drug dosage. 

The second reported that a Mideast military firm has unveiled a "hunter-killer" robot that rolls through "dark alleys, caves and tunnels" armed to the teeth.
