The future seems to be just around the corner. It used to be that you saw science fiction movies with robots replacing people in the workforce, well it seems that we are moving more and more toward that. In North America last year companies ordered over 18,000 robots worth $1.16 billion which is higher by 23% in unit sales and 17% in dollars over the year before. To make money off of this trend look to Emerson (NYSE: EMR) for animation systems and Rockwell Automation (ROK) for controls. Cramer called them "inexpensive stocks" especially after beating numbers last quarter by a lot.
