According to British scientist, robot sevants in the home will become an reality within 10 years. Technology unveiled at the world's biggest gathering of industry leaders heralds the arrival of 'house-bots'. The robots - like iRobiQ - which are linked into the home's own technology and broadband internet service, will effectively become the technology hubs of the home.
Voice commands to the robot would be translated into wireless signals to turn on the washing machine, change the TV channel, dim the lights or change the music.
Perhaps someone will use the technology to wak ethem up in the morning or patrol the house during the night. Would you be one of these people to have a robot such as this in your house? Full ArticleI am undecided to be truthful..it would be nice to be lazy and have something do half the things for me...however, I have seen too many movies where something like this could go seriously wrong....

Lol, you and me both DLG. I hate doing housework.
I so think this is a reality, and it could be a boon for mankind. Give us the freedom to do the things we want to do. For instance, give me more time to write. But I also see people abusing it as well. How many people do you think will use these new robots to raise their children?

I am undecided to be truthful..it would be nice to be lazy and have something do half the things for me...however, I have seen too many movies where something like this could go seriously wrong.... The first one crossing my mind would be the Matrix (it's concerning how many associations I can make with it). I wouldn't want to have such a robot around the house. I can't deny that it would be extremely useful, and that it would give me more free time, but I'm not a fan of the fact that technology is taking control over our lives.
