Earl The Squirrel's Journal: Robots that address a social problem.

Since the dawn of SF, we have envisioned how robots will help solve issues plaguing mankind. They have made great strides in manufacturing/assembly , roombas, and hobbyist robots, but I thought that the dream of robots solving social issues hadn't really materialized. However, a friend recently went to the Middle East, and found the following sport Camel Racing which has been plagued with issues of child exploitation , with children being kidnapped to act as jockeys. Robots in this case are helping solve a serious social issue... by helping reduce the number of abused and neglected children. Who would have thought?!
