Hello everyone! I am in my 3rd year of mechanical engineering program and I 
 am thinking of specializing in robotics in my last year and maybe even go 
into graduate study on robotics. Right now, I am requested to write a report
on my "career planning" and I am wondering if any of you know where I can get
basic non-technical information on robotics. What I am looking for are the
major employers involved in this field, the geographic locations of indutry 
involved in the design and production of robots, the current economical status
of this industry, the opportunities to get involved in this field etc etc..

I am hoping that there might be a way for me to get this kind of information
with FTP, WWW or gopher. 

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Lik Wu
