It’s amazing the rapid development in advance electronics and robotics in recent years.<br><br>If this technology is reliable and cost efficient it can be implemented in many different environments. For example, the medical field may find these new technologies and applications very useful. Perhaps, to help nurses reduce time filling out information in the E.R. and so on… <br><br>Voice recognition has already been implemented in high end luxury homes and vehicles. <br><br>The collision-avoidance system is intriguing and may be implementing in future transportation vehicles applications also…(planes, trains, boats, and automobiles.)  <br><br>Can it “head to the kitchen” and flip pancakes too…heehe, smiling.  <br><br>Hmmm, very interesting.

Ditto LEGO Technic, don't confuse us by using 'Technics' in an article headline unless, of course, you're talking about fine turntables or something else from Panasonic- previously Matsushita. Just copy/paste the relevant part of the LEGO wikipedia article into your stylebook or whatever. You do have a stylebook, don't you?<br> Keep up the good work!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Dave]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 8:13AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT developing autonomous wheelchair that listens when you speak]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</guid><description><![CDATA[Ah, I was just about to ask if it meant "the person in this wheelchair is SICK" or "dude, that's a SICK-ass wheelchair!" :)]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Shunnabunich]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 10:09AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT developing autonomous wheelchair that listens when you speak]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</guid><description><![CDATA[It would appear you like the sound of your own voice.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Samboini]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 11:04AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT developing autonomous wheelchair that listens when you speak]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</guid><description><![CDATA[As a quad, I for one welcome our new wheelchair overlords.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Randy]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 8:35AM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT developing autonomous wheelchair that listens when you speak]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</guid><description><![CDATA[Sadly the responders just don't get it, my wife is also a quad.]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[Jim Nichols]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Sep 21st 2008 3:12PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on MIT developing autonomous wheelchair that listens when you speak]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2008/09/21/mit-developing-autonomous-wheelchair-that-listens-when-you-speak/</guid><description><![CDATA[Did you guys NOT see Wall-E?
