Robo-servants at home.
Imagine not doing any mundane tasks at home (cooking, cleaning etc)
On the worse side : if there are robos at home. There will be sure outside in streets too. So we will have to figure out new jobs for ourselves.
- eloff 8y agoPeople have been predicting this for 50 years. It turns out it's a really hard problem - I'm comfortable saying it's still much more than ten years away. We could possibly get fusion power before we get this the way things are going.
- adamnemecek 8y agoProgress is exponential. Right now a lot is possible but maybe not commercially viable.
- cheriot 8y agoWe've had robot vacuums for ages now without any additional automation. Any thoughts on which tasks are more viable for automation?
- nine_k 8y agoWe already have plenty. The washing machine knows what to do with the clothes. The dishwasher knows what to do with kitchenware. The robotic vacuum cleaner knows how to navigate and clean your house. They are single-function, and not autonomous. This makes them massively cheaper and safer.
- samblr 8y agoIdea here was, a robo-servant will put clothes inside washing machine or dishwasher. And take them out and put them in order too.
- nine_k 8y agoWould be great! I still suppose the washing machines will get this capability specifically for themselves. I can imagine a pair of top-mounted robotic "helper hands" in the kitchen, capable of sorting, peeling, cutting foods, and maybe also hand-washing dishes (current dishwashers are notoriously poor at cleaning anything but lightest grease).
