The dreams of generations of science fiction writers are now a reality. Man and Machine are meeting in strange—and productive—ways. Join host Joe Penna as he discovers a search and rescue robot that doubles as a tank, cuddles a therapy robot designed to look, and act, like an actual pet, and tests a high tech fireman’s mask that has a lot more than X-ray vision.
