Here is what I’m more keen on, rather than the human-like robots that we are all expecting. For instance, I would like a wall-mounted or floor-standing multi-arm robot that serves as a kitchen assistant. One can add or reduce arms as needed/desired. It is custom-equipped with a fire extinguisher, thermometer, and the usual must-haves for a kitchen. It will hold the cutlery, plates, and other items as needed. It will also advise on the likes of, “No, salts usually go in a pinch, would you like me to add in just about 5 grams?”
Thus, similarly for the garage, the DIY table, etc. Just Arms would be good.
- thrance 1y agoTbh I would rather not have computer-guided knife-flinging arms in my home, be them on wheels or fixed to the wall.
- sroussey 1y agoI have a parrot (whose beak is sharp enough, thank you very much) that loves to grab a knife out of the knife block and spin around with it. I have to put a towel over it though today he pulled the towel off and still grabbed the knife and was holding it up when I turned around.

- bredren 1y agoIt slices, it dices... Seriously, though. Vassar Robotics (YC company) has an arm kit available for order now. The original ship date for my order just got pushed back due to an upgrade in the camera spec. It won't be able to hold knives (I don't think) but there are companies working to bring about your hoped-for wall arm right now.
- _carbyau_ 1y agoI don't want arms in the kitchen just yet though I'm happy for someone else to beta test that. But arms to move laundry from dirty clothes -> washer -> dryer -> clean clothes basket? Relatively defined, repeatable interactions with a worst case of wrecking some clothes seems a safer place to start.
- jagged-chisel 1y agoI think the washer-dryer integrated unit handles the first bit without moving the clothes. Add the ability to dump dry clothes into a basket and voila!
