…Current examples include iRobot’s Roomba, Husqvarna’s Automower robot lawn mower and Maytronics Dolphin Nautilus CC Plus robotic pool cleaner. Smart home technology developers, however, have grander plans, in which they foresee robots growing in complexity and value. They anticipate that these machines will eventually assume such household tasks as cooking and serving meals. Social robots, on the other hand, will be the soul of home systems, providing owners with some level of empathetic interaction (Fig. 3).

…their homes on a regular basis. Similarly, robotic lawn mowers are also available to buy to make garden maintenance a breeze. The self-driving future While self-driving technology is not quite readily available yet, it’s sure to be the next breakthrough in robotic and AI solutions. Self-driving taxis would eliminate the need for us to have our own cars, and we could even check our emails while on the road. Also, self-driving trucks and lorries would mean more cost-efficient last-mile delivery, allowing for shipping costs to be reduced. But we don’t have to wait around for self-driving vehicles for robotic technology…
