Abstract:
Mike Treder: From time to time on this blog, we like to look in on the world of robotics to see what's happening there. Most of the work in that field does not, of course, directly involve nanotechnology (unless you're talking about still-theoretical medical nanobots). But robotics is an area that is moving forward rapidly (no pun intended), and it's easy to see that molecular manufacturing will greatly accelerate their progress.
