    I feel like for that something more like a roomba that is specialized for a task and more importantly not shaped like a human is the best option there. I feel like having your labor robots be human fascimilies is kinda weird. Like Rosie the Robot from the Jetsons is basically a slave. She can make quips! I'd feel weird having a humanoid robot like that taking orders from me.

      Sorry, I assumed roombas were robots. I didn't mean humanoid robot exclusively. Honestly, I'd rather have a grey goo nanobot fleet that could shape change.

        Fair enough. I'm a sci fi brained nerd and humanoid robots in Sci fi always bugs me unless it's something like Data where the purple was to see if you could make a human robot. Otherwise just have a child.

      There are tasks only humanoids can do, like get boxes off of high shelves, open them and move things around. Idk there’s a million varied aspects of domestic labor and only something tall with at least two limbs with good manipulation and dexterity could achieve

        That's because we designed houses for human use. Redesigning kitchens with built in robot parts that has a differen design than a standard kitchen meant for human use is way more likely and practical than bipedal robots designed like humans.

      once roombas figure out how to properly get the crumbs under the kitchen counter it's over for us all.
