Gadgets & Gizmos: Robots galore, mushroom leather and interactive paper
Share Radio's technology editor goes robot crazy, with robots deployed in care homes, serving in restaurants, triaging hospital patients and defending American Air Force bases. There's even a robot dog to make yourself that fits into the palm of your hand. There are unstaffed digital supermarkets in Sweden, a worldwide scam involving seeds, leather made of mushrooms and a way of making paper interactive.

And he takes a look at Qatar, a tiny kingdom in the Middle East punching well above its weight and with a well-conceived plan for the future which Britain could do well to study and learn from.
