(This post is mean both seriously to enquire about support needs, but also for fun because free robot helpers are a long ways off.)

I think because I'm a trifecta of Autism, OCD, and ADD I would want a robot helper to do all the cleaning tasks that involve having to touch anything sticky or gooey, spilled ketchup, etc.
Also as an assistant because my doing things relies on me doing them the very second I think to do them or else I forget to do it for a week so I never have enough spare hands to do things at the same time. I would like to have my robot call my GP for me to request medications, etc, stuff that frees up my own hands for stuff I can't tear myself away from.

  • I would certainly opt for a robot that is top end technology with identical build, look and voice that looks like me... They will effectively do everything I would do but don't want to because it involves high levels of masking (i.e., tolerate visits from family, smile and nod when my husband goes on and on about some media trivia that doesn't interest me at all, etc.) Or simply too little time (cooking, cleaning the house yes please but leave the organisation to me.. I would like to do that myself)
