home help robots

Marianne72

I read BBC news today about help robots in care homes. I would love a care robot in my home.  A humanoid robot that stands in the corner and interacts when I want conversation, helps me get up from a chair, peels the veg. etc. What do you think? Orwellian nightmare or urban boon?

  • This is so weird that you have posted this link.

    Recently I was thinking that I would prefer to have robots during hospital and doctors appointments. I just like straightforward facts without the emotions in those situations.

    I don't know what it is, it's almost like I feel for them having to pass on bad news.

    I wouldn't one in my house at the moment but if I became infirm, then yes it would be so much better than having a carer. No awkward embarrassing moments.
