According to Eliot Weinman, CEO and co-founder of Robotics Trends, "We are very excited that EXPO Magazine has awarded RoboNexus the winner of the 2005 Best Trade and Consumer Show.  We believe that the success of RoboNexus International Conference & Exposition is attributable not only to the support of all of our sponsors, and the long hours of dedicated work invested in RoboNexus by our staff, but also primarily because the emerging personal, service and mobile robotics market is now becoming one of the fastest growing technology markets in the world. Although the mobile intelligent robotics industry is still in its relative infancy, consumers, businesses and the military alike have an extreme interest in the potential that emerging robotics technologies hold to contribute overall to the betterment of mankind."  The show website is www.robonexus.com

On May 10-11, 2005, Robotics Trends will be hosting the second annual RoboBusiness Conference & Exposition in Cambridge, MA.
