Carebots
“Who doesn’t long for household help at times? Service robots will soon be able to relieve us of heavy, dirty, monotonous or irksome tasks.

It is interesting that (according to the article) they deliberately avoided a humanoid form factor. To me, it looks vaguely like a five-foot Gumby with one arm and a HAL-like face, drifting around on an omni-directional platform. At least it’s not green.
