The technology is now maturing, and rollout is entering rapid growth.
One of the best technology forecasters, Ray Kurzweil, projects that we will have general purpose household robots available, starting in the last few years of this decade.
Special purpose logistics or agricultural robots have already begun rolling out, and driverless cars, trucks, ships and aircraft are not far behind.
When general purpose human equivalents (mobility, dexterity, strength, safety) become available, the really profound social transformation will take place.
