Arguably robotics is already happening. Most factories today rely heavily on automation and robotics. We beginning to see the first production-ready self driving cars. We even have some fairly decent humanoid humans now. The main issue is that the world is complex and it's hard to build a single robot with enough flexibility that can preform a broad set of tasks. If the question is specifically when can I get a robot that's going to do almost everything I can do around the home, then the answer is probably not for a decade or two. But over the next decade we'll increasingly see robots being deployed in the real-world to solve specific tasks. For example, I strongly suspect postal delivery will be fully robotised by the end of the decade.
