We’re not up to Jetson Family-level robots yet, but we’re getting there. The robot maid (Rosie) of the old TV cartoon has an analogy in the Roomba, but the real-world robot has less utility (and personality).

They join us to talk about the advances they see coming in robot capabilities, and how we can get used to the help.
