In the Jetsons, Rosie was a household
robot maid that served the family. Today, we already see robots in
the home such as the Roomba--a robotic, roaming vacuum, or Spykee, a
robotic, roving dog that enables the owner to access its mobile
webcam and keep an eye on things around the house. For instance, you
can log into your robot spy through your smartphone and shout to your
dog to get off the couch when you're not at home. There are other
robots that have made their way into homes, such as Rockaroo—a
robot that will rock your baby for you, Litter Robot LRII--a
cat-litter changing robot, Robomow—an electric grass-mowing robot,
Nanda Clocky—a robot alarm clock that drives away to get you out of
bed in the morning, and even Agent 007—a security robot that
patrols your home and monitors your doors and windows, shouting
“Freeze, police!” at intruders. These robots aren't nearly as
sophisticated as the Jetson's Rosie, but robotics is advancing so
fast, it is just a matter of time!
