A
handful of high-tech firms in New York City are building machines that will one
day become our secretaries, surgeons, and maids. Reason TV Contributor Naomi
Brockwell visited three of these companies to find out how their products could
change our relationship to machines. Will robots ultimately take all the
jobs?
The companies we visited are Honeybee Robotics, which makes
machines for NASA, and the aerospace, medical, energy, and mining industries;
Robotbase, which is developing a personal robot called "Maya;" and Bond, which
has produced a machine that can mimic a users' handwriting.
About 4
minutes.
