How soon will robots actually be entering your home?
Your home as a normal upper-lower class to middle-middle class person.
Well, we’d have to figure out what the purpose will be first.
We’re not talking about toy robots or Roombas that have been on the markets for decades.
No, we’re talking about robots that are made to perform complex tasks that require limbs, sight and sound as well as enough artificial intelligence to navigate curve balls.
Figuring out that task is key to learning why we’ll let them into our home and why they’ll be accepted fast, maybe with little notice.
Will they be cooking? Will they be providing security? Will they be serving as butlers?
That’s probably the wrong train of thought. The first complex robots most people will let into their homes will be somewhat like a handyman. They’re going to be there to fix or repair something. They’ll show up, perform their task, maybe accept payment and be on their way.
What’s pointing at this being the case, though?
