Anyone who attended the Robobusiness 2012 event this week can't argue that there are not some really exciting things happening right now in robotics. As I am spending time in the industrial robotics field, the professional service robotics field and the academic domain, I see many different points of view in robotics. In the presentation that I did at Robobusiness, I summarized the convergence that I see happening between the traditional industrial robotics and the new service robotics. You can see my slides below and download the ppt with more text in the comments.
