If you read this blog, chances are you're aware of SXSW, a unique festival exploring music, film, and emerging technology. Recent years have seen one or two robotics panels at SXSW Interactive; I would be surprised if robotics did not feature prominently this March.

Thanks, and I hope to see you there. Read more » about Help Drones Invade SXSW

Each hold potential dangers for our civil liberties and for the future of robotics. Read more » about Who Will Regulate Robots?
