Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

But UN bans have rarely worked in the past , even when it’s compliance was limited to a hundred countries !


In case of robots , we are talking about millions of manufacturers ( in time to come ) , spread all over the World !


I say “ Millions “ because of the following news in Hindustan Times ( 24 Aug ) :



Scientists have developed a system that lets you design a robot IN MINUTES , and then 3D-print and assemble it in as little as FOUR HOURS


The process of creating robots is slow and costly ; even one small change can mean days or weeks of rethinking and revising important hardware, researchers said


The new system allows designers to determine the robot’s movement and shape




Trying to ban robots is going to be more and more difficult with passage of time , when millions around the World can download ( using internet ) , a Robot Design and 3D-print it ( without worrying about that ban ! ) . How will government stop this ?



Only permanent / ultimate solution is :
