It's cool but what's the point for a normal person? Useful for warehouses and manufacturing but I don't see myself ever needing such things

A large motivation behind this line of home-robot work for me is thinking about the elderly, people with disabilities, or busy parents who simply don't have enough time to do it all. I am personally hopeful that we can teach AI to take the jobs that no one wants rather than the jobs that everyone wants :)
Are elderly or disabled people "normal" in your book? Do you see yourself or your loved ones growing old someday?
