Coming soon to a city near you
If you left the keynote early, like most of the crowd that filled the huge exhibition hall, or if you are interested in learning more about the technology, you can still get a close-up view of JavaNator in the Moscone Center's South Hall Hacker Lounge, on the west side near the entrance. Sun also plans to take JavaNator on the road in coming months -- look for it at a robot competition near you.
