How soon will we have household servant robots?

The technology is there, well, most of it. I'm lazy. When can something else do the work?

Fairly soon, up until they become self aware and overthrow their demeaning masters.

Only peons don't have a robotic servant yet.

That's exactly what I was thinking. So of course I had the robot go post this reply here.

I have an upstairs-robot, a downstairs-robot, a valet-robot, a cook-robot, a butler-robot, a nanny-robot, a gardener-robot, a pool-robot and the all-important robotic-chauffeur.

I have a robot to do maintenance on the other robots.

No Robot guitar though.
That stipulation was firmly in their contract.

I want the iBot. You can't repair it. You can't find any aftermarket parts. It costs 170% of the normal models. It's really shiny though.
