Japan will be cashing in on the robot crazy of the 21st century. We'll have robots mowing our lawns, doing our dishes, sweeping our floors and even preparing our food. Advanced models might even be able to handle tasks like folding clothes and scrubbing kitchen sinks.
And you know who will be making and selling those robots? Japanese companies, that's who. The U.S. will be known for growing corn and selling software. Japan will be making the fuel cell engines, microelectronics, and robots that enhance the quality of life of citizens around the world.
Domestic robots are starting to become a reality. Starting with Roomba, reliable, useful robots are truly within reach. It's too bad the U.S. government doesn't have enough vision to coordinate or even fund some robotics research. If it isn't military or nanotechnology, it seems, the U.S. government doesn't want to fund it.
Analysis: The first domestic robot you buy will probably be made in Japan.
