Want Less Holiday Chores? Invest in a Robot!



For years, robots have been used outside the home. They detect bombs on the battleground, build cars in factories and deliver supplies and visit patients in hospitals. However, the past few years have seen the rise of home robots. There are also robotic lawn mowers, duct cleaners, surveillance systems and alarm clocks. There are robotic toys for entertainment, such as Furby. Robotic companions, like Paro the harbor seal, comfort the elderly. It is said that by 2015, personal robot sales in the U.S. will exceed $5billion USD, quadrupling what they are now. We will see more and more robots that help maintain your home; they will pick up stuff from the fool, stock your fridge, carry stuff from the car. some can be instructed, they can be programmed, you can have software that is built upon by others.
What better way to enjoy the holidays than to spend more quality time with loved ones by letting the robot do the nasty chores..
