Robotics is going to be a huge industry in the United States and currently across America kids in grade school, middle school and high school are indeed thinking in advance of this as a possible career. Why? Well simple as there are many contests around the nation going on right now and these kids are getting better and better at robotics. Now consider the ushering in of artificial intelligent household android robots and the future in service businesses and manufacturing with robotics. Can you se why robotics will be so big?
Now then to foster this further American Colleges, Trade Schools and Universities must get busy and increase their science, robotics, artificial intelligence and computer sciences program to keep up with the onslaught of new students and corporate research sponsorships and government research funding to make sure they can keep up.
Academia Robotics Programs will need to triple in size twice or maybe three times in the next decade and a half to keep up with the needs of the World and the Corporate Markets and thus they need to Press On. This would be no time for our Colleges and Universities to rest on their laurels as the human race progresses. Consider all this in 2006.
