I’m sorry, I don’t need a robot to make my food or deliver it, and I am pretty housebound.

It’s not for you, or really any of we consumers. It is for the restaurants. Imagine a banquet hall and all the dishes that need to be washed. Do you have a dishwasher? Imagine the cost of washing dishes in a banquet hall. So now imagine a device that will scrape plates, rinse, soap and sanitize, dry and stack dishes as fast as you can load them - like a coin sorter. I don’t see anything inherently wrong with eliminating menial tasks. It’s practically already humans doing a robot’s work. Emotionless, rote tasks like dish washing, flipping burgers, cooking fries and chopping carrots can and already are to a degree automated. They sell pre-peeled carrots in the market (I don’t buy them, we peel our own too) but the process is automated - a scaled down version of a logging machine that strips the bark off trees.
