A new census of the world's robot population reveals disturbing negative robot
|
|
population growth, but still, our fleshless offspring's numbers point to a
|
|
machinery future:
|
|
|
|
Some 20,000 domestic-help robots were sold worldwide last year, half
|
|
designed to mow lawns. Vacuum-cleaning robots were introduced late in 2001
|
|
and a study in Sweden found that 5,000 were sold in the last two months of
|
|
the year. Window-cleaning robots are set to boom, said the U.N. study.
