There are robots to help you do the dishes, move furniture, and even robotic wheelchairs to help you get around. Really, the only question that remains for us is when do we move?"

Personally I'm waiting for an automated lawn mower that doesn't suck!
You're doing it wrong. It's not a lawnmower, it's a vacuum cleaner.

I am waiting for a robot maid to put dishes into a dishwasher, to clean up surfaces, take out garbage and to be able to sort the recyclables out, to put clothes into a washer, move the from washer to dryer, to iron what has to be ironed, to fold the stuff and put it onto the right shelves, to vacuum clean and to wash floors, to shine shoes and to be able to cook, to go to stores, and pick up what's needed, to walk the dog and to satisfy me sexually.
What I am going to get:
a silly looking thing, that'll put the garbage in the dishwasher, recycle the washer, take out the surfaces, move the right shelves into the dryer, then take them out, iron and fold them, vacuum clean the fridge, place the dirty clothes into it, shine the dog, then cook it, and drive the car through a store.
But you know what? As long as it satisfies me sexually I don't really mind that much.

And right afterwards the robots starts pleasing you sexually, assumin you are into Bondage and SM.

I am not sure I would like a machine in my house that can take (semi-)independent decisions without the option to switch it off completely.
Something tells me you're not a big cat person.

Still waiting for a robot that can iron and fold my clothes, or even a complete workflow: collect clothes, wash, dry, fold and put it back in the drawer. That would be awesome.

It's called a woman. Probably much more expensive than a robot, but the added feature is that maybe once a year it will have sex with you.
