Back in 2007, I wrote a small blurb about a robot that was the size of a fly, and could even fly, and another blurb about cockroach robots., and yet one more blurb about the fruit picking robot.
Humanoid Robots
In 2010, I wrote about the world's most realistic female robot. You can see below the video I posted at that time. Since then, the female humanoid robots have become even more life-like, if you can believe that.
In 2013, I posted an article about how a robot was ringing the closing bell at NASDAQ. Anyway, you get the picture.
The point is, many companies are jumping on the robotics bandwagon. As a matter of fact, according to the free list of robot stocks at WallStreetNewsNetwork.com, there are over 50 companies involved in robotics to some extent.
Investing in robotics is one of these opportunities that you should consider if you're looking to diversify your portfolio, receive large returns on investment, or earn potential dividends. Like Google ten years ago, companies like iRobot, Intuitive Surgical, and AeroVironment, are the companies whose stocks may move significantly higher in the future over the long term, due to their emphasis in the robotics space.

Mankind has stared at the birds with envy ever since we first arrived on this planet, but only since 1903 have the skies become open to us. And now, AeroVironment (AVAV) is taking the man out of the cockpit becoming a leading manufacturer of Unmanned Aircraft Systems.
