If You Had One Robot To Do One Chore....

Since female replicants are still illegal on Earth and since it's a well known fact here that I am so lazy that I wish somebody could breathe for me so I won't die in my sleep so I settled for this waste of plastic. Looks cool but does absolutely nothing no matter what buttons I push on the remote but Stinky gets a kick out of it GOD forbid she should vacuum, mop or sweep the floor. I had an idea to strap a granny cam and a gun to it to shoot home invaders from another room. With my luck the oversized hockey puck would become self aware and whack me instead.

After my shower I would like the robot to apply body cream to the middle of my back where I cannot reach.
p.s. - if someone has another solution - please feel free to let me know (and no, I do not want a family member to do this.)

Well Iris, I'd be glad to stop by and do it but unfortunately the drive from southern New England to Ontario would be a little tough to handle on a daily basis, especially since I also have to leave time for my wife's back rubs as well.

Oh well, I tried to be helpful.

As useless as it is this pricewise this Brand and model is on the lower end of these gimmicks. The real heavy duty makes and models cost several hundreds of dollars. But this adult toy and it is a toy does nothing but look cool like the usual toys in the Sharper Image catalog.
 
Well, Amazon’s new Astro robot won’t clean your house, but I think that it is pretty amazing ! I do not need one, but for people who do want more home security and ability to control things remotely, this is a really cool device.
Astro has a 42” periscope, so it can check outside the windows if there is noise, it can bark like a dog so that an intruder thinks that you have a guard dog, and it will sound an alarm if someone does come into the house that is not supposed to be there.

It can follow you around, or you can send it somewhere in the house for a simple task, and it will even bring dogs biscuits for your dog if you want it to.
Astro has a charging deck, just like the robot vacuums, so it will keep itself charged up, even if you are away from home on vacation for several weeks.

Here is the amazon link with more information about Astro, and even if you don’t want/need such a device, it is fun to look at the pictures and information.

That link doesn't work. Says "Sorry, can't find the page."
 
I don't know if I'd trust a robot to do things as well as I do. The robotic vacuum cleaner, for instance, is only for daily cleaning, not for deep cleaning.

That said, I'd like a robot to change the sheets, do the laundry (from start to finish), unload the dishwasher (which I no longer have) and do all the deep cleaning (floors, stove, bathroom, kitchen). My robot's name would be Rosey, and she would do it all. She would actually disinfect (not sanitize) the kitchen and bathrooms. When she was done, she would verify the disinfection. No one has ever gotten food poisoning or other maladies on my watch.

I don't have an iron, so the robot won't be doing that. This reminds me of when the kids were in Boy Scouts. I took out the iron to iron on their patches. They wanted to know what an iron was. I thought, now my work here is done - the kids have been raised properly.

Of course, if I had to get dressed up to go to work, I'd have a drycleaner do the clothing maintenance. That is the sum total of my aversion to ironing. And an example of something I hate to do, but I am good at. When I take up sewing again, I will have to get an iron, but that's for a good cause.

This is kind of like the three wishes from the genie in the lamp. Only I have one wish. I want a robot to do everything from washing the car, to shoveling the driveway, doing my taxes, to tucking me in bed at night. Since they haven't made on that can do all that stuff, I want a robot that can make money. When I'm sleeping, I don't need a robot, so it can get a job, and bring in some cash.
