Though I couldn't justify spending $14,000 on a robot for household chores that can't even sweep...or vacuum. Wait, having it open doors is an future upgrade? What CAN it do? Weather forecasts and email? My Pentium 1 can do that...

The market is certainly there for a robot that can cook and clean. It's just a matter of getting AI up to snuff while keeping battery life acceptable.
