Jenny dropped to her knees and began one of her routine inspections, working her fingers through his coat, parting his fur as she went to see his skin below.

Bob Gross became involved with robotics in 1978 by building a working facsimile of R2D2. For fun, he has built winning autonomous robots for sumo, maze, navigation, wandering, and combat. Later, he produced three autonomous museum robots that would fetch balls, go to various colored columns, or allow teleoperated control. By day, Gross…

or thought he made, an astonishing discovery. Did his eyes deceive him, or had his hair turned in the dozen years of his life from white to iron-gray under its concealing dye? Was the network of wrinkles on his face becoming less pronounced? Was his skin healthier and firmer, with even a touch of ruddy winter color? He could not tell. He knew that he no longer stooped, and that his physical condition had improved since the early days of his life. "Can it be——?" he thought to himself, or,…

G Y Cirque du Soleil paid no heed to what the competition did. Instead of following the conventional logic of outpacing the competition by offering a better solution to the given problem—creating a circus with even greater fun and thrills—it sought to offer people the fun and thrill of the circus and the intellectual sophistication and artistic richness of the theater at the same time; hence, it redefined the problem itself.22 By breaking the market boundaries of theater and circus,…
