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