ABI Predicts Massive Robot Sales by 2015
ABI Reasearch put out a report that claims that by the year 2015 people will spend as much for a humanoid robot as they would for their next car. Analyst Philip Solis says that within 7 years the market will expand to $15 billion dollars.
In his book "Love and Sex with Robots", A.I. researcher and author David Levy says the bots will be able to carry on conversations, respond to other's emotions, and have some feelings of their own. While we are not sure that we would go that far, we can't wait until we get our own Rosy.
