Robots Not So Slow On The Uptake
from the you-know-I-love-them dept
Yep, it?s a study of the latest robot buying trends and of course they’re up. Not only that, but a higher rate of adoption in the home is predicted, starting with robotic mowers and vacuum cleaners. I believe that adoption rates will increase even faster than indicated in the study. There?s currently a lot of consumer interest in robots (yes, partially because of Aibo, but also due to Mindstorm) that should spur more robotic consumer offerings. Are we finally getting close to integrating robotics into our homes?

What kind of robots?
The only kind of robots that will be “integrated” into homes are robots like garage door openers. I don’t think we’re going to see Jetson’s Rosie any time soon….
Re: What kind of robots?
I think we’ll start to get robots at home soon but they’ll be specialised simple robots (i.e. for one or two tasks soley) and we’ll probably require a few of them.
Re: Re: What kind of robots?
What’s the difference, then, b/t what you describe and “an appliance”? Bread makers are by that definition robots. I thought robots needed to be “versatile” or else they’re just machines….
