Bill Gates thinks the robotics industry is today where the PC industry was 30 years ago - about to take off into exponential growth. We've discovered an amazing amount of interesting robotics work going on right here in NYC. In addition, we will have display tables with cool robot stuff from robotics companies and organizations. And the problem will also include the annual "NYSIA WiseGuys and Wise Gals Predictions Panel". Two hot panels, eight smart panelists, ten cool robots, 50 great predictions... what better way to start the year?
