So we all know that robots are the future. Whilst I don't necessarily think this is a good think, (that argument who need a whole new post but I might do it sometime) there is no denying the fact that in the future we will have robots such as we see in Sci-Fi films like Star Wars. Now up untill now I had thought that the age of robots was a long time away. However as I will explain, that is not so!
It turns out that in South Korea a robot city is being planned and that work will begin on it sometime in 2009! Supposedly it is going to cost roughly $530 million (£382 million). Now when I heard this I imgined a city not out of place in a Sci-Fi film which has hover cars, giant skyscrapers and robots doing everyday jobs. However it is actually going to be a kind of giant science park for robotics where all the scientists and engineers will work on robotics.
I think this is very exciting because with the vast investment behind this project some very cool robots are likely to be made. If the "Robot Land" as it has been dubbed proves to be a success you can be sure other such robot research parks will spring up around the world funded by other countries and companies keen to jump on the robotics band wagon.
