As Lyn Alden said, we tend to overestimate the impact of hardware and underestimate the software side.
I think we will each have virtual assistants in our homes, perhaps connected directly, but the idea of a robot walking around with us and being able to be useful, I suspect that idea will go the way of the flying car. Despite the technology being there, no one is going to want one of those metal giants around their kids

Been thinking about this and I disagree. I think AI-powered robots will only be successful if they give us a sense that they are safe and can be trusted. We allow animals into our homes and around our children. We let our kids ride in self-driving cars. A human robot that is able to tidy up, prepare meals, do chores, etc would free up an immense amount of time and energy and substantially increase quality of living.
If robot assistants are to be successful (and there already is a compelling reason to build them) then they MUST give us a sense of safety and trust that would us to feel they are safe to be around.
