Robotics in everyday life: from vacuum robots to domestic androids?

How do you feel about using AI supported robotics in all the days of life? Is a development from a dust robot to a home android desirable and should these systems work independently or be tied to one manufacturer? Technical and ethical issues are inevitably linked to today’s Sunday question.

Robotics in everyday life

Robotics in everyday life in 2022 is still generally limited to comparatively simple robot vacuum cleaners and robotic mops for the home or robotic lawn mowers for home garden maintenance. But how far is the road to android for everyone? Is that a worthwhile goal?

Today’s Sunday questions are from ComputerBase readers Gold button conceived and addressed as an idea by him to the editors, who would like to thank you very much for the suggestion and support.

With this issue, a Sunday question from the ComputerBase forum community comes into play for the first time, with more to follow in the future.

Are you interested in robotics in everyday life?
