Already now this looks like a very useful tool for a person who is bound to a wheelchair. It can easily reach things at different heights, including floor level, which is hard from a wheelchair. Its base is smaller than a wheelchair, so it can get into narrower spaces. Such person probably has an open, level, and uncluttered floor plan already, which works well for the robot. Accessories, such as the vacuum cleaner, can be installed by the operator (after the robot fetches them). Autonomy is great when it works, but even slow teleoperation is better than having to have a helper around 24/7.
