What if they combine her with a Roomba?
She could do the housework!
Huzzah!

My mind is reeling with this.
This robot would be approximately the same cost as a highly trained service dog - for that matter, she could walk dogs!
She will be provided by the Government, who would usually pay for a service dog anyway.

I hope your robot is like Rosie on the Jetson's. She was a trip. And she was able to fall in love, too.

Oh, downer. She will record everything and zap it over to the FBI, Revenue, Social Institutions, High Schools, and other nightmares. We'll have to reprogram her ourselves. Per Groucho: get me a five year old.

Every time newspapers show a new robot, they never post a direct link so people can read more technical information on their AI. All the available information should be easier to access to the public, so journalists will stop posting absurd titles, people will cease freaking out for nothing and cease posting paranoid comments like we see on Youtube.
I'm looking forward to the time where a few laboratory experiments will finally lead to strong AI with real emotions, hopefully it will happen before I die or become senile. But even now, all these innovations are exciting to discover :) It reminds me of personal computers in the 1980s, not very common, some kind of expensive toys, but not for long...

If they haven't finished building the robot, then they haven't got their patents all properly lined up, so they will release very little information, I think. Just enough to stimulate more grants.

Awesome. One of interests is robotics.
