Dear All,
Similar to this there is an article in a magazine called "Technology
Tomorrow" published by ICFAI University, Hyderabad, the article is about a
'snakebot' - a robot like a snake will enter in your room when your door
is closed and will work on your computer. It does not require the door to
be open, it can move through the space available between the door and the
floor.
How strange ? Now even the computer engineers will be jobless if this is
the way technology going to improve ( a joke apart).
Probably I may give you the exact issue date & No of the publication if
anyone wants it.

Dear Professionals
Came across an interesting article which has appeared in today's (30th
July 2004) Indian Express (Youth Express). If Robots are going to manage the
future libraries, what is the future of L & IS Professionals?
Robot Librarians
*******
A group of robotics researchers at University Jaume I in Spain is working
on a robot librarian. The prototype has cameras, sensors and grippers so
it can locate and collect a book. The hope is that one day, teams of
service robots could work in libraries.....
