The Stark Area Regional Transit Authority on Sept. 9 demonstrated anti-collision technology planned for two of its buses.

If that Roomba vacuuming underfoot is any indication, robots are likely to become more of a household fixture in the years ahead. But if robots are ever to handle "edgier" tasks, say, like chopping up ...
