Robots today are in manufacturing. I think it’d be a while before one shows up at your door in a driver-less car to do housecleaning or repairs.

“I think it’d be a while before one shows up at your door in a driver-less car to do housecleaning or repairs.”

We have the technology to do that... but the liability of putting a robot, big enough and strong enough to accidently kill or injure, into a home environment... well lets just say it will be a while. There is a reason why robot vacuums are not built large enough to suck up the cat.

Then again we all have ‘robot’s that wash dishes and clean clothes. They just don’t look humanoid or move around.
