Robots have to beat domestic servants in cost / ease of use first. I'd say when that is achieved, the killer feature would be privacy.

- lacker 7y agoIn the US, every domestic robot is far, far cheaper than a domestic servant. The main problem is that domestic robots don’t handle any of the main chores, besides Roomba doing vacuuming.
- gooddadmike 7y agoHow about before robots doing chores maybe a whole house volume (TV's, Doorbell, Phones, Microwave) level control to keep kids asleep. There is a lot of simple improvements that could go a long way toward making everyday life better that could happen before domestic robots.
- fulafel 7y agoInteresting thought. So if as an employer you'd be paying €3k/month for a domestic servant, that would correspond to about a €100k cost for a robot. You can't get a robot that can do the same things at any price currently, but that's a bigger budget for the robot than a single function robot like Roomba gets.
