10. Robot Butlers
What It Does: Household Chores
Expected Rollout: Unknown
To explore the origins of one of the first-ever robot butlers we must take a journey back to the psychedelic ‘60s, and into the home of one of the most influential families of the 20th century, the Jetsons. Okay, so, Rosey wasn’t a butler, but she was a world-class maid.
The robot butler that was developed by Mira Robotics, a Japanese start-up, is operated remotely by a human, and will only cost $225/month. Although robot butlers are, currently, not designed with A.I. technology, many A.I. firms are hard at work attempting to change that. The firms do admit, however, that it will be quite a while before a completely autonomous robot butler is able to roam freely amongst households while completely its chores.
