I feel this article knows nothing about AI robots that can clean how a Janitor does.

In any event adoption of tech can take time as hard as it might be to believe.

It might not take 40 years for factories to adopt electricity when it comes to AI.

"AI robots that can clean how a Janitor does"

I am yet to see a robot that could clean my bathroom. And I have a pretty basic bathroom: a toilet, a shower, a bathtub, a sink, a mirror, some shelves, laundry baskets, a washing machine, a window, a door, a floor.

How would you design a robot that can clean all of those?

I appreciate that you are taking the Janitor example quite literally.

From a jobs to be done perspective of any housekeeping task, there is a lot more progress in the past year than I realized. I thought the same until it was shared with me.

There are others as well, quite a few out of China.
