I am not sure I agree with the article's definition of robots.
The way I see it an automatic blinder that reacts on either a timer or sunlight is in the spectrum of a robots. It's a very simple one, but it does things for me that I would otherwise have to do.
Right now it seems like people are more trying to invest and push Robots in the image of "The Jetsons" which I don't think consumers are even close to being ready for yet, plus the technology and algorithms will always lead to disappointment until we get much much further.
We need to think simpler. The irobot is successful because it doesn't try to be a Jefferson robot despite it's name but rather it solves a specific need.

- superqd 8y agoMy kids get confused when I refer to my 3d printer as a robot. Heck, even the 2d paper printer is a robot. In that respect, I do have some very useful robots. I would very much like a robot that could do household chores though, like laundry.
