The jetsons are the 1 % and a middle class will no longer exist.When people invest into these types of projects, they're accelerating unemployment. Fortunately, we all have something to look forward to, massive debt and unemployment.

Heh I gotta comment on this one :)

I already have a Roomba, but looking forward to seeing more versatile multi-use household robots hit the shelves.

This news article is very cool although doesn't this 25 M pale in comparison to the untold billions USA is spending on military robots.

It is truly a shame that how robots will be first introduced on a grand scale to the world is as monstrous killers reminiscent of Terminator, & not these peaceful Jetson-like bots.

Countri es which invest heavily in autonomous robotic murder devices should be sanctioned, condemned & isolated by the entire world... not the silly sanctions & fuss we see against Iran for their nuclear developments.
