I still think a robotics company for the masses is something waiting for a billionare to indulge in.
Its 2017 and where is my "Rosie the maid" from jetsons? It should be here by now. I hate doing house chores.
- ericflo 9y ago100% agreed. The pieces are there, someone needs to put them together. It's VR in 2009.
- Animats 9y agoVR may be the next 3D TV. It's been around for a while, but it's a niche product. Hassle of using it outweighs the benefits.
- ericflo 9y agoYou're right that it's a niche product at this point, but it's very different from 3D TV. Tesla cars are niche products too.
- scott_karana 9y agoIt's hard to think of a product less niche than automobiles. 80% of Americans have one. Tesla is in a small-volume, premium segment of a proven commodity, whereas VR is still niche. (Though, Google Cardboard proves it needn't be premium-only!)
- Animats 9y agoConsumer Reports says the Samsung Powerbot robot vacuum is finally good enough to be useful. The Dyson robot vacuum is almost as good, they report. Previous robot vacuums were just too weak at vacuuming to do a good job.
- scott_karana 9y agoSweet! Ideas for more: laundry, dishwashing, toilet scrubbing, lawnmowing, gutter-cleaning, grocery shopping, and table un-cluttering. "All in one" would eventually be ideal ;)
