People used to (actually, still do) respond to my answer about what I cover as automation, Oh, robots. The current topic seems to be expansion of software control to make robotics easier to use and with expanded repertoire. And Id say, Yes, that, too. Then, quiet again for the most part. Something interesting does come my way at times.
