Robotic Nation Evidence

In Pursuit of Robots: South Korea's goal is to have one in every household by 2015 or 2020: "By 2007, networked robots that, say, relay messages to parents, teach children English, and sing and dance for them when they get bored, are scheduled to enter mass production. Outside the home, they are expected to guide customers at post offices, or patrol public areas, searching for intruders and transmitting images to monitoring centers. If all goes according to plan, robots will be in every South Korean household between 2015 and 2020. "
