The only thing I don't like about car comparisons here is that, unlike cars, a household robot could have a plugged in offloaded computer. The robot could be stripped to sensors and motors, and whatever is necessary for failsafe operation, such as remaining balanced. Most other things a household robot will do could handle latency limiting it to a few hundred updates per second, and you could generally engineer around that latency... So the only power you need on the robot is enough to control the motors and sensors, and the limited onboard compute. Edit: to clarify, my expectation is that the compute is on-location, so the latency is in the scale of <1ms more so than 10-100ms from cloud offloading
