I wouldn't call washing machines/dryers/dishwashers "home cleaning gimmicks".
- ska 7y agoFair enough, but I wouldn't call washing machines/dryers/dishwashers robots.
- tsimionescu 7y agoI was thinking more about automated vacuum cleaners. You can take a very broad view of the term 'robot', where it is more or less equivalent with 'machine', and then you world be right - they are literally everywhere. But given the reaction to this article, I think that it's clear most people have a more narrow definition of 'robot', one which draws a line between a machine which splashes water and detergent inside itself for a pre-determined amount of time on one hand, and semi-autonomous walking machines on the other hand.
