But two-dozen software, hardware and life science companies from Mexico had a coming-out party of sorts in Silicon Valley this week.
As the CEO of a startup, for example, I was initially told by our software developers that writing software is more art than science.
In our eighth annual E-Gang (our group of tech innovators to watch), we present the masters of robotic innovation--entrepreneurs and researchers who are fusing advances in biomechanics, software, sensor technology, materials science and computing to create new generations of robotic assistants.
Then some computer program takes this description and does all the fancy computer science needed to create the software that does what you want.
While Curiosity is completing the software transition, the mission's science team is continuing to analyze images that the rover has taken of its surroundings inside Gale Crater.

It has its basic science support in Russia and its software support in India.
And just as the disclosure of theories and empirical data usually produces good science, so published code leads to better software.
This particular touch table now supports Ultra HD resolution (4K) and was shown running a software demo currently in use at Chicago's Museum of Science.

Having grown up surrounded by computers (his father used to be a software engineer), Dr Soghoian says he slid into computer science without even considering other disciplines.
Similarly, while Apple's OS X's user interface is not just easy to use but engaging, it's just a candy shell built around the kind of tried-and-true Unix software that's powered everything from phone networks to computer science labs for a generation.
The smart cookies at the Social Science Research Council have spent three years researching media and software piracy in so-called emerging economies -- countries like Brazil, Russia, India and Mexico -- which has this past week resulted in a comprehensive report aimed at establishing the trends and causes of the unauthorized consumption of intellectual property.
ENGADGET: Piracy is a problem of 'global pricing,' not enforcement, claims new report
There are ongoing efforts by cognitive science laboratories and companies to develop cognitive assessment and brain training software that will function on mobile phones and tablets.
D. in computer science and put in 19 years at IBM developing an important robot software language.
Development of the software was supported with funding from several public and private universities and the National Science Foundation.
Some are building software that can be applied to solving critical problems drug discovery, genomics, computer science and biology.
FORBES: Facebook Is More Proof Innovation Is Thriving In Silicon Valley
This software for Mars surface operations was uploaded to the rover's memory during the Mars Science Laboratory spacecraft's flight from Earth.

States should provide additional resources to train and employ teachers of science, technology, engineering and math, as well as increase access to the latest hardware and software for elementary and high-school students.
WSJ: Kirk McDonald: Sorry, College Grads, I Probably Won't Hire You
This year, I would love to attend a session run by a business person with an English Major background (instead of a PhD in Computer Science), showing what they did with Data at scale, without huge servers, without expensive software or cryptic languages.
