March 26, 2016 /
Funding to private robotics companies doubled in 2015 to reach a record high of $587 million, according to CB Insights.
And robots were the dominant theme at a conference Amazon held earlier this week to encourage inspiration and creativity in tech’s hottest fields. In one demonstration, Amazon chief executive Jeff Bezos was helped onstage in a blue robotic suit somewhat reminiscent of Iron Man, but which simulated the perils of old age. A person wearing the Genworth R70i still can control their movements, but is greatly hampered by the constraints of the 40-pound suit.
