[pandorabots-general] Microsoft Robots Are Coming

[Stanley E. Honour]

> FYI From MIT Technology Review.
> "There are several things about the robotics market that seem to mirror
> the PC days of the late 1970s," says Tandy Trower, general manager of
> Microsoft's new robotics group. ....  Trower believes that PCs and robots
> are converging -- and that Microsoft must invest in robotics if it wants
> to be a player in personal computing five to ten years from now. "Your PC
> is getting up off the desktop and beginning to interact in the same
> environment where you live in new ways, using cameras and sensors and
> speech technology and a variety of other advanced technologies," he says.
> "This is the direction that PCs are evolving."
