How long until there is a robot maid?
Perhaps what is the concept of having robot maids managing all household chores is more likely than expected. The technology being produced by Dyson and Samsung is changing the outlook on what robots can deliver. The research in regards to the robotic arm for manipulation of objects makes it look like we are almost close to having these acts right at our doorsteps, in our homes.
How Soon Can We Expect Robot Maids?
Experts say by the next decade, it is expected that robots could do chores in homes that range from vacuuming and mopping up to more complicated tasks, such as folding laundry and dealing with clutter. Dyson is pushing that front, unveiling its prototypes featuring robotic hands to grab things and move them about, a step forward from simple robotic vacuums.
MIT scientists are working on creating such systems: robots may learn to perform specific tasks by simulating them in a virtual world. Perhaps, for instance, robot maids will be able to teach themselves how to fold clothes after viewing one video about folding clothes. That, too, may shorten the time it takes for robots to become household assistants by several orders of magnitude.
What Can Robot Maids Do?
The tasks that the first wave of domestic robots would be able to perform will probably be much less complex than those listed previously; these will likely include floor and window cleaning and even simple meal preparation. Pouring a drink from a bottle is a demonstration of what Samsung's Bot Handy can do by recognizing objects.
All this being said, it is likely that over time we can see robots performing the kind of multitasking and handling many more tasks than what I described above. However, activities like deep cleaning or organizing personal items are likely to require human judgment for the foreseeable future.
Limitations and Human Maid Services Role
Of course, it will be a larger quantity of work that has to be done by the robot maids in their homes, but there is still a requirement for human expertise. So, while robots shine at repetitive and structured work, they fail at complex and nuanced jobs. Therefore, it is maid service providers who fill up the gap where flexibility and personal care are concerned, something that robots have yet to equal.
The Future of Robot Maids
Companies like Sparkly Maid Miami will also do very well in years to come by correctly blending advanced cleaning technologies with high standards of house cleaning provided by personal human attention to detail.
In a nutshell, fully autonomous robot maids are not yet in the horizon just now, but what I gathered from advancements in AI and robotics is that we can expect them to be helping out around the house in the next 5 to 10 years. Hybrid future: the robots master routine while humans master complex and personalized responsibility.
