Domestic robots are designed to automate household tasks, potentially liberating time otherwise spent on unpaid domestic duties. Research indicates that in the next ten years, approximately 39% of the time dedicated to housework and caring for family members could be automated. These robots are capable of executing a variety of chores such as tidying up, watering plants, loading dishwashers, wiping surfaces, and disposing of garbage. Companies like Dyson are innovating with robots like “Gary” to manage basic home chores such as cleaning and organizing. The goal is to develop supportive technology that aids humans instead of replacing them, potentially promoting greater gender equality by lessening the unequal load of household work on women. Despite concerns about privacy and cost linked with these technologies, advancements in robotics aim to make domestic tasks more efficient and convenient for individuals and families.
