In a few years, personal assistant robots will be able to fetch items (and remember where you put them), guard your house, clean up the clutter in your home, engage in basic conversations, play music, and -- someday -- do your laundry. These are the kinds of things that really matter in terms of quality of life. Who wouldn't want a live-in helper who could handle basic chores? Humanoid robots from Toyota offer precisely that promise.
Yes, it's all many years away, but today we finally have working robots like Roomba and Aibo. There are more than 150,000 Aibo robots in homes around the world right now, and Sony is just getting started. When you consider the combined efforts of Toyota, Sony and Honda, it's exciting to realize that helpful household robots are truly on the way.
I predict the humanoid robotics industry will someday dwarf the automobile industry and the software industry. This will be the largest single industry on the planet, with hundreds of billions of dollars to be made by the right companies. Too bad the U.S. government can't see this coming and try to support our own fledgling robotics research. Today, the U.S. is at least a decade behind Japan, and I don't see any changes coming. Kudos to Japan for investing in technology that really means something.

"Big Tech and mainstream media are constantly trying to silence the independent voices that dare to bring you the truth about toxic food ingredients, dangerous medications and the failed, fraudulent science of the profit-driven medical establishment.
Email is one of the best ways to make sure you stay informed, without the censorship of the tech giants (Google, Apple, Facebook, Twitter, YouTube, etc.). Stay informed and you'll even likely learn information that may help save your own life."
