I read an article today from The Economist on robo-ethics, a subject which some academics are trying to make a head start on. There are some interesting questions raised. It's not hard to see robotics becoming as big a revolution as mobile phones in the medium term, it's probably a good idea that someone is grappling with the concomitant problems of such change in advance.

The robot that does the most tedious of household chores, ironing; that's the one I'm holding out for.
