The Robots are Coming!
Unfortuately, R2D2 and C3PO are still years away. I've been busy lately and if I could offload more of my work to robots, I would have more time to blog and do other things that I enjoy. Robots are quickly creeping into our society and many consumers are turning over some of the day to day drudgery that no one really likes to do to some increasingly sophisticated single function robots. The Roomba from iRobot Company (http://www.irobot.com) is probably the most well known as it is a widely marketed vacuum cleaner. They also have a floor washing and pool cleaning robots. The compnay did $186MM in 2006 do it looks like a few folks are doing a bit less vacumum cleaning.There are also a couple of lawn mowing robots - Robomower and Lawnbott for people who don't like to mow the lawn - check them out at http://www.bamabots.com. One of my clients makes the Litter-Robot, a self cleaning cat litter box (www.Liter-Robot.com). We get great feedback from cat owners who are estatic that they don't have to scoop out their litter box anymore. Talk about a distasteful job. Now if I could just get an email bot to write all my emails....
