January always seems to bring a spate of articles about how the new year will be “The Year of This” or “The Year of That.” 2024 has already been christened by some as “The Year of Robots.” It sure seems like we’ve heard that refrain before, and yet robots are still not part of our daily lives. Why not? Joe and Mark discuss the history of robots, two reasons why their development lags behind that of AI, and whether we’re failing to notice a golden age of robots all around us because we’re expecting them to look like Robby or C-3PO.
