I can imagine a "box", say 1x1x2 meters, that you get in your home, it will have a plexiglass on it, and inside, it will have several AI-controlled arms, and you will be able to command it to fix anything in that space. Not really sure about cooking, but you could ask for example to fix your trousers, or repair a notebook, or make a fitting for water tap, and so on, and it would autonomously do it (it would ask to order some tools and materials and you would bring them to it). These could also be modular so that they could repair themselves in a limited way.
There would also be a larger "boxes" available for fixing larger things. For example, your washing machine broke up, you put it into the "communal" box that is like 6x6 meters, and inside it, it will repair it. Or you could have a communal box that works like a kitchen (but IMHO the biggest problem with AI kitchen is that we cannot easily automate the human taste and smell).
- FeepingCreature 3y agoI find bipedal robots more plausible. Our living spaces are configured for humans; ultimately, something that looks like a human will be best suited to navigate them.
- TapWaterBandit 3y agoThat is a very cool concept I hadn't considered. No idea of feasibility but would love to see it or something similar happen.
- brightlancer 3y agoThings are so disposable now that I don't think most households would have a use case for a Repair-Bot; I can see it in offices and factories, OTOH. I think we're pretty far away from a robot that can take an arbitrary problem and fix it accurately. I'll be excited when I can take my car to the mechanic and he's supervising a robot changing my oil.
