title: The era of the robots is now?
abstract: If you read the news either as hard copy or online I am sure that you notice reports about the presence and use of robots more frequently; and often these have a positive message related to the benefits and advantages of the use of robots. My most recent encounter with similar news was last week's reading about a robot in the US, called VGo, which helped to 'Diagnose concussion on the football field' of an American football player (Erikson 2016). Not to mention other titles such as "Robots are coming to grandma's nursing home" (Schiller 2016)!
