Rossum's Children

It's a good time to be a roboticist. Next week is the launch of RoboNexus 2005. Unfortunately it is in San Jose and I'm on the other side of the country, unable to attend. Hopefully I'll be there next year.

The Business Wire tells us that Colin Angle, co-founder of iRobot, is giving the keynote address this year. If any of my readers is attending RoboNexus this year and would like to provide me exclusive coverage, drop me a line.

I wonder if they'll have live television coverage of the Grand Challenge? It will be taking place during the convention and I can't think of a group of people more interested in the results from the race.
