I see the next breakthrough in robotics being the 
introduction of very high accuracy manipulators--
say an order of magnitude (or more) better than
any systems of the 80's.  There are plenty of potential
products that simply cannot be assembled today anywhere 
outside of a laboratory.

Ultra-precision manipulators will be "enabling" technology.  
They will make it possible to produce consumer products that 
are impossible to manufacture on a mass-production basis today. 
Once the technology exists, new products will be developed 
which exploit it.  Electronic minaturization will go far beyond
where it is today, quality will get better, and cost will go down.
