In some non-China news, last month iRobot celebrated it’s 11th anniversary.  DailyFinance published an interesting piece discussing the future of the company that makes Roomba, Scooba and other robots.  Also, Engadget posted an interview with Colin Angle, the CEO regarding the past, present and future of the company.  Hint: it will look a lot like Jude Law and Rosie the Robot than most people expected.

Bonus: SingularityHub has posted a couple videos of some rugged robots in development at Boston Dynamics.
