"Toyota Motor Corp. said on Thursday it aims to put its humanoid and other advanced robots to practical use soon after 2010 to help people in factories, hospitals, homes and around town."

Here's the next area of industrial development where the US is being left in the dust, and doing not a thing about it. It's been decades since America has had a sensible industrial policy, and it shows.

I hope America's next generation of workers can compete with robots for the service jobs, since that's the only category of jobs that will be available.
