RoboCup@Home [0] is addressing such home tasks, eg. cleaning a toilet, in a competition setting for universities. This is an attempt by last year's winners: [1].
Taking out trash is a new assignment this year.
Note that in RoboCup@Home, the robot have to do a LOT of things well and its easy to be spread too thin over all those capabilities, whereas the Amazon Picking Challenge has a very narrow focus and you can still modify your environment a bit.

- hhs 8y agoThat's quite interesting, I like it - I wonder if they have plans to shrink that down over time?
- ragebol 8y agoShrink what down?
- hhs 8y agoThe robot. Would be interesting if the robot gets to a point where it's useful, reliable, and versatile for the home and its "owner". I wonder if this will spawn new economies as it did for automobiles?
- ragebol 8y agoNot sure how much you can scale down. To reach high enough to be useful, you'll need some base and proper arm to achieve that.
