- echoangle 2y agoI still don't see why you would need a humanoid robot for those tasks. Folding laundry could be done by a single robotic arm, and dishes are done by a dishwasher.
- jajko 2y agoBecause managing all those dishes still takes a lot of time. Taking heap of dirty dishes, cutlery and whatnot, pre-clean if something nasty is already dried to them, arrange them efficiently, and then afterwards taking them all back to their places. That's maybe 7 minutes on average combined. It takes probably longer to write some meaningful post here (with some corrections), but we are spoiled these days, pretty irrational, and consider our free time our most important aspect. Some people would prefer eating broccoli or spinach paste to managing dishwasher. Also, if somebody expects me to fork out 20k for some assistant, there are no limits what I can and should expect out of it. Heck, you can have modern-day slaves for less in most modern societies, not even going into less developed ones.
- breakyerself 2y agoYou must have a wife or mom at home doing the dishes if you think it's a 7 minute task.
- breakyerself 2y agoIf it can do both those things then it can also do a lot of other things. Sweep, mop, dust, straighten up, etc.
