I would add two thoughts here. One, for new construction at least almost all the tasks would be pre-programmed and there would probably be very little spot decision-making as is currently done with a human worker today. Of course artificial intelligence might be able to provide a certain amount of calculations to be done in the robotic brain in terms of cutting material to length and so forth.

The other factor would be the way houses are built will probably change. Perhaps more pre-fabricated sections that are delivered and assembled on site and put together by machines so they don’t have to cut every stick in the field.

There will no doubt be different models of personal/household robots.

From small monkey-like models for tiny urban apartments to big gorilla-like bruisers for construction or heavy homesteading requirements.

But as the software accumulates for different tasks, pretty much all the robots will be able to do most of the possible functions.

Clean the house, do the laundry, cook the meals, tend the yard and garden, stand guard while you sleep, fix appliances, provide emergency medical treatment, juggle/dance/tell jokes, coach you exercising, tutor the kids, tutor the adults, finish the basement into a playroom.

They may become the preferred Internet interface. Rather than sitting and staring at a screen, your robot might keep talking to you, as you go about, staying right near your side, fussing over you like a personal assistant.
