Dean Kamen profiled in the Economist magazine

[MooreteP]

I don't think I have seen this posted, if so, I apologise.

Here is an insightful article in The Economist Magazine about Dean:

It features FIRST at the start and end of the article and refers to it as "a glitzy robotics competition".

It is an excellent magazine that publishes a quarterly technology review.
You might also want to peruse at least two other robotics stories from the same issue.
One is about a robot that can forage for its own fuel. It is in part funded by DARPA. It is called EATR lol

Another is about the advances in creating metal skins that can heal themselves.

Oh heck, you may as well check out the nanobots as small as amoebas too.

Here come the Terminators?

IMHO each of these articles could be their own threads.

Thoughts please.
