- What constitutes a robot?

- Who is using robots at this time?

- Who is doing robotics? Are they making any money at it?

- How is robotics related to machine vision and artificial
  intelligence?

- Would you want a robot caring for you in your old age?

- What is the future of robotics?

These are a few of the questions that will be open for
discussion over dinner at the Robotics Roundtable. This
meeting will provide an informal setting for those
interested in robotics to get acquainted. All are welcome,
especially students; membership in the IEEE or the Robotics
and Automation Society is not required. All attendees are
welcome to provide suggestions for future monthly lectures.

Please RSVP to chair@robotics-boston.org by November 1, so
that we can get a head count for reservations.
