Robots near carpe diem moment

First impressions, they say, leave deep impressions. How true!

I had my first experience of robots at the 19th China International Industry Fair in Shanghai earlier this month. And the devices have created such deep crevices in my mind that a dichotomy, an inner conflict of sorts, is forming.

I can't stop thinking about those various types of industrial and service robots - how they are versatile enough to perform wide-ranging functions such as folding a shirt, mixing cocktails and welding.
