[link to www.spelbots.org] "SpelBots, founded in 2004, is Spelman College’s all-female robotics team whose goal is to encourage students and young women of African descent to explore robotics and computer science. The team is led by Andrew B. Williams, Ph.D., the founder and coach of the SpelBots and director of Humanoid Engineering and Robot Systems (HERS) Lab at Spelman College. SpelBots are funded by the National Science Foundation, Boeing, and General Motors." |

"What I was suggesting -- you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith..." –in an interview with ABC's George Stephanopoulos, who jumped in to correct Obama by saying "your Christian faith," which Obama quickly clarified, Sept. 7, 2008 |

I've pointed out on multiple occasions that China is kicking our asses because of their strategic investments in robotics and industrial automation. Everyone seems convinced that it's all about cheap labor which is incorrect. Check out the BMW plant in China... not alot of human labor there as you may see. |

We're talking about the most pressing issue here. Everything else is a distraction. Even wars are all about robots today. Look at the drone issue. The level of profundity regarding robotics has no equal in the history of civilization. There are two kinds on people today. 1. People building robots. 2. People waiting to be destroyed by robots.
