Job Creation With Robotics

By Frank Tobe | March 28, 2011

Tom Atwood, Editor-in-Chief of Robot Magazine said, “There is much discussion of job creation and producing the next generation of American innovators. India, Korea and China are producing far more computer scientists and engineers than we are here in the U.S. Although our government is beginning to push for an expansion of robotics education in schools, these and similar programs are not enough for our country to maintain its competitive technological edge. We need a national robotics policy that is a clear call to action, and we need backing by Congress and industry. We are including in our May/June issue an interview with Frank Tobe, creator of The Robot Report, which really drives this point home.”
