10 Robotics Trade Magazines
Usually free, mostly ads or industry news. Many articles written by
advertisers. Great sources of product information. Our lab at CMU
receives 50-60 trade magazines and journals per month and while no one
reads all of the articles, pointers are passed on to people around the
lab. This keeps the group abreast of new products and developments.
