I agree that home robots will be task specific and not anthropomorphic. Examples I would buy if they were cheap:

-robot to stack and unstack the dishwasher

-robot wheels to put the garbage bin out for weekly collection

-robot mower to cut the lawn

-robot laundry hamper to take clothes to washing machine when full

-robot to clean kitchen benches and stove-top nightly

Interestingly, the dishwasher is already a dish-washing robot.

Don't stack/unstack the dishwasher. Use two dishwashers instead. At any one time one has clean dishes and the other has the dirty ones.
