I've honestly been shocked at the progress in robotics that seems to have taken place in the past few years. And of course there's much bigger money going into humanoid robots from Honda and Toyota, and the "Big Dog" stuff getting DARPA money, and I'm sure a ton of commercial/academic/military projects that are pretty far under the radar
Oh yeah, and people are building their own UAVs
The future is going to be a very, very strange place
