How Long Until We Have a Home Robot That Lives Up To the Hype?

moon_unit2 writes: You may have heard of “personal robots” such as Jibo, Buddy, and Pepper. One journalist recently met one of these home bots and found the reality less dazzling than the promotional videos. Whereas the Indiegogo clips of Buddy show the robot waking people up and helping with cooking, the current prototype can only perform a few canned tasks, and it struggles with natural language processing and vision. As the writer notes, the final version may be a lot more sophisticated, but it’s hard to believe that real home helpers are just around the corner.
