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?

  • I would love one if it was efficient and didn’t require much maintenance, but I suspect my privacy within my home would be compromised and the tech companies would find out even more information about me than they already get from my phone, smart devices, TV and computers.

    The thought of having someone to do housework without my space being invaded by humans is appealing. Perhaps it could do the gardening too and I could concentrate on the nice jobs like weeding, pruning and planting things. It would be good to have more time to do the things I really want to do. I wouldn’t want a robot for emotional support.
