President Barack Obama says technological innovations such as robots can help pump jobs into the economy and spur growth in clean energy and advanced manufacturing.
In his radio and Internet address Saturday, the president echoed a plan he unveiled Friday in Pittsburgh to join the federal government, universities and corporations and re-ignite American manufacturing with an emphasis on cutting-edge research and new technologies.
"Their mission is to come up with a way to get ideas from the drawing board to the manufacturing floor to the marketplace as swiftly as possible, which will help create quality jobs, and make our businesses more competitive," Obama said in his address, which was taped Friday during his visit to Carnegie Mellon University, where he saw a display of mini-robots that explore water and sewer pipes.
He also marveled at robots that can defuse a bomb, mow a lawn, even scrape old paint.
With growing interest from the military, businesses and consumers, the Carnegie Mellon Robotics Institute has more than 500 technical experts and a $65 million annual budget.

I like to mow grass.
He just said, days ago, that ATMS cost jobs. Does he even know what he is saying from day to day?
OK..ATM’s=bad but lawn mowing robots=good. I can’t keep up with this moron.
Hell, we got a roomba to sweep our floor. Why can’t she have a brother to mow the grass.
No, he really does think his voters are stupid, if it wasn’t so said it would be funny.
So you and your family decide to build a new house. You pick the lot, have a house designed andhave a contractor who begins working. But your teenage son wants to build a spaceship in the back yard. How about getting the fundamentals down first before reaching for the stars? Because he doesn’t have a clue about fundamentals and doesn’t care whether anyone else does either. This is what you get at the top when you hire someone with no practical experience with American culture and no clue about history beyond slavery or our fight against communism.
Obama’s ghetto version of how to find work works for his posse but not for mine.
What a jerk. He got ridiculed for his idiotic remarks about ATMs so now he’s trying to take the opposite approach.
One of the problems with Obama is not only that he’s evil and wants to destroy our country, but that he’s STOOOPID.
My hillbilly husband will have weekly robot races with his good friend Bud Weiser...
;) The Mrs.
And the media covers for our first AA president. A complete moron who is where he is because of the color of his skin.
He only confirms the thoughta many have about AA
Let us remember that to the simple mind of the Obamaloon, a wedge is an example of “advanced manufacturing”.
WTF? This is the same 0bama that was whining about how ATMs are killing US jobs and now he wants robots to mow our lawns?
0bama ... the poster child against affirmative action
“And the media covers for our first AA president. A complete moron who is where he is because of the color of his skin.

There are plenty of AAs out there more than capable of running the country.
Herman Cain is a good example.
I have robots to mow the lawn. We usually call them teenagers. Its probably one of the few times they are way from a tv or computer screen.
“...join the federal government, universities and corporations...”
-
The fascist department of central planning?
I’ve said it before and I’ve said it again. This is not policy as made in the “faculty lounge” as Rush Limbaugh is so fond of saying. This is policy made in the dorm room between bong hits. In my mind there is no other explanation.
Dude - you know what would be COOOOL? What if, like, we had a bunch of lawn mowing robots man, you know, that could mow the lawns and stuff? That would ROCK, man.
Zer0 wants more mind-numbed r0bots voting for him.
Time to retool those evil ATMs.
Of course not. He just reads it.
Is this to make up for the ATM gaffe? Funny that he is saying technology will create jobs when he just stated that technology is killing jobs.
Where does he get his ideas at a crack convention?
The man is the most profoundly ignorant person ever to serve in the Oval Office. I mean that literally and say it as a matter of fact without rancor or invective.
You are such a racist to dis the first affirmative action - confirmed doper president. /S
My hillbilly husband will have weekly robot races with his good friend Bud Weiser...
You have that about right. If they make something with a motor eventually someone it going to try and race it.
If the Obamatron robots can clean hotel rooms and cook/bus tables as well as mow the lawn, all the Democrat voters he keeps enabling across the border will have no jobs to do.
Dude - you know what would be COOOOL? What if, like, we had a bunch of lawn mowing robots man, you know, that could mow the lawns and stuff? That would ROCK, man.
Where you gonna find grass in downtown Chicago, LA, NYC, etc. ?
I mean the kind you have to mow.
This prick Obama was in Indonesia learning about the Koran.
That's a big problem he can never overcome. His brain is wired for the Middle east. This is why he bows to Islamic dictators. They are his role models. Not George Washington. In simple American terms, he's a god damn f-ing know it all foreign prick.
Thanks, toby.
Yeah, especially all those "manufactured" unemployment and inflation statistics. /sarc>
Cheers!
Consider yourself highly commended, sir.
Cheers!
Isn’t this the same President who, just two weeks ago, blamed ATM’s and Airport kiosks for taking jobs away?
Now this jack ass wants our economy to grow so that he can get reelected?
Asking Obama to lead America is like asking a pedophile to watch your kids.
All of this takes reliable energy sources.......
Everyday is a brand new day to our president.
We need to open a new Federal Department of Ingenuity. Maybe Algore could be the first secretary to head it. We could give them a 1 trillion a year to come up with inventions to fuel the green economy(Depression). Also, we could expand Homeland Security to collect fees for molestations at Airports. Some people might like to go through the lines twice to get an extra grope, and we could charge them.
I think, in his post, "AA" means "Affirmative Action."
Maybe if we make statues of Obama? Maybe that would jump start the economy?
Just take all those evil ATM’s, send ‘em to a reeducation camp and teach them how to mow a lawn.
Problem solved.
...and send the lawn maintenance people to a different reeducation camp and teach them how to be bank tellers.
There. Fixed it.
Robots can be very useful for many things.
Guy goes into a bar, there’s a robot bartender.
The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini.” The robot brings back the best martini ever and says to the man, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “168”. The robot then proceeds to talk about physics, space exploration and medical technology.
The guy leaves, but he is curious, so he goes back into the bar. The robot bartender says,” What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”. Again, the robot makes a great martini, gives it to the man and says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “100.” The robot then starts to talk about NASCAR, Budweiser and John Deere tractors.
The guy leaves, but finds it very interesting, so he thinks he will try it one more time. He goes back into the bar. The robot says, “What will you have?” The guy says, “Martini”, and the robot brings him another great martini. The robot then says, “What’s your IQ?” The guy says, “Uh, about 50.” The robot leans in real close and says, “So, you people still happy you voted for Obama?”
It's a sure thing that his zombie hordes and the MSM shamans leading them don't pay attention to these stunning contradictions.
Thanks grey_whiskers. Have a great weekend, all.
I have no problem with robot lawnmowers. Means fewer jobs for illegals. Hi-tech manufacturing SHOULD be our strength...
Something tells me that this visit was meant to ‘diffuse’ that ATM statement by showing Obama as supporting automation technology.
I wish you could come mow mine LOL
