I give it 5 years maximum before Amazon releases an "Alexa" robot that is initially just the same Alexa we all know, just mobile (flying or rolling, or both) with a small arm and able to do a few rudimentary tasks. There is no real loss of privacy to be expected over current Alexa anymore.

"Alexa, get me a beer!" Actually, a device or a couple of combined devices which could enable that gracefully might sell pretty well. (Some kind of fridge which can dispense canned beverages as the 2nd device? This could be adapted from vending machines.)
