The most irritating tasks left are washing clothes and putting away dishes. I know in my house they both stack up, and begrudgingly or with sophisticated negotiation skills, they eventually get done, sometimes days later, even weeks for the mini mountain pile of clothes.
The robovac was novel for the first week until it got stuck between the wall and toilet every time, crying in a syncopated voice, "Please help. I am unable to move. Please place me in a different location...” or ate a cord you left on the floor.
When a humanoid robot can learn to fold a towel by mimicking a human worker 400 times, we are leveling up fast. And yes, there will be great benefits to people who have disabilities with a robotic companion, not just first-world chore problems.
These questions below sound abstract until they’re not.
Where does the robot brain's learning live? Who can access it? Who profits when the robot records inside your house via telemetry data, teaches the next robot, and the next one, and the next one on your data?
