Moore's law exponentials continue to help low cost robots achieve new capabilities. Over the next two decades the majority of robot deployments will be in situations where people and robots work as a team. Sometimes the teamwork will be spread over time and space, and sometimes it will be close physical interaction. Application areas range from driving, to domestic chores, to healthcare, to services, to agriculture, and to manufacturing. Sometimes the robots will be tools, and sometimes they will be partners.
