Can a robot groom my dog? Seriously.
“Can a robot groom my dog?”
Admittedly, that is tough challenge due to wide variations among dogs, them moving around, and the aesthetic quality of hair cutting.
With the state of the art now in robots, a robot could groom a dog, but not cost competitively compared to people. The dog would likely have to be restrictively restrained. An expensive specialized training effort would likely have to paid for up front, and an expensive top of the line general purpose robot would be needed.
The physical robots are getting mechanically much better from year to year (they are already similar to average humans in strength, mobility and dexterity), and when they are connected to big data center AIs, the training for such complex specialized tasks will be dramatically quicker and cheaper - like downloading a new app onto a general purpose cell phone.
