there's never going to be a market for working single parents to have a robot nanny or maid or caregiver.

this could only ever be targeted as a product for the wealthiest households, who already have enough money to afford an actual nanny or maid or caregiver.

... or they'll just pivot in 5 years to making military models using the training data and research they scraped from scanning the inside of everyone's homes.

besides, humanoid robots are a bad idea and bad design solution that doesn't scale to wide ranges of diverse environments (think about how many kinds of steps/doors/doorknobs/locks exist in homes across the planet).

    Maybe if, say, all the people who are willing to work as house maids get deported, and only people demanding a living wage accept such jobs, this could become a reality. And even then, a robot will not be as flexible as a person doing house chores in a loooong time.
