What kind of robot would you like to have.

A robot to converse with.

I’d like a robot that played pranks on my wife when neither of us were expecting it, but was smart enough to know when NOT to prank her too…

I’d take one with a damned good job and of course exploit the shit out of it!

Well, if I could get that that kind of robot, first of all I would wait for the technological advancements so that it could perform more tasks rather than only single. Because such robot wouldn’t be cheap to buy anyway.

But for your answer if I could get this for free, I would like if it has the function to do house chores (if only single then cooking) at the very least.

One that can clean up cat vomit and get up on the roof and clean gutters.

One that can do the housework.

Free robot is limited to a single task.
To have a multitasker you have to purchase an advanced model.

I’ll take a sex robot please.

Data, (Star Trek) has programming for hundreds of ways to pleasure a woman.

And here I had a crush on Warf.

A robot that would wait on hold for the next available operator!

I have one. My Roomba vacuums, in a schedule, and recharges itself, on its own.

Beyond that, I a version of @janbb’s idea. I’d love a robot to make all the difficult and time consuming calls, wait on hold, and ultimately resolve whatever the issue is for me. Think IRS, bills, banks, electricians, doctor offices, etc.

@cookieman Yes, my robot needs to do all those things too after the call is answered! I find those things the most aggravating.

On a side note, I read yesterday about a roomba that escaped its house, went adventuring and was found in a hedge and returned to its robot family.

A robot(arm) that raises a glass of water to my mouth, every 10 minutes, from 8am till 12am.

@rebbel A robot arm that raises a 9mm Beretta to your head and pulls the trigger is a faster way to commit suicide.

R2D2 or C-3PO would work. Just to chuckle at their constant arguing.

Mine would carry bundles up and down the stairs in my home.

@janbb: I have no doubt mine would try to escape given the chance.

^^Roomba rumble in the park at midnight?

Washing dishes.

A writing robot. I could just feed it ideas, and it would spit out fully finished fanfiction for me.

I am shocked nobody* has suggested a SexBot. Shocked.

*@ragingloli

^^ Someone did. Look above.

@cookieman and @janbb – I’m ready to invest.

@janbb: I missed that comment. Now I feel much better.

@kritiper, you want an automatic dishwasher?

@Patty_Melt Not a built-in. It could be collapsible and fit under my desk when not in use. Like a Roomba vacuum. (I hate doing dishes!)

I want one that will vacuum my stairs. I have two Roombas, one for each floor. But the stairs…they need a special stairbot. One day I hope.

I want one that will go through my woods and maintain the trees for me.
It would be tracked like a small sidewalk snowplow so it could drive over uneven ground. It would have a self sharpening chainsaw on one arm a wood splitter on another and towing capability up to 400 pounds so it could pull brush and small logs.
It would be equipped with optical sensors and enough AI so it could recognize downed trees then cut, split, and stack them when found. Before cutting It would do a quick thermal scan to make sure nothing living was going to be hurt. Then it would blast away.
I figure it wold take about 2 gallons worth of gasoline to do this daily job so it would need a 20 gallon tank. That is about 750 kWhs of electrical energy. 75kWhs per day. So, if I want to charge it with solar I would need at least 50 square meters of solar cells and that is not remotely possible. I’ll stick with gasoline or diesel.
The energy saved by heating with wood would more than offset the CO2 produced by the 2 gallons of gasoline
.
That would make my life so much easier.
But then I’d have to come up with another way to get exercise.

Is anyone surprised by that answer?
L ing OL

It would appear that life is about little beyond maintenence.

@Patty_Melt You can tell I have give this a lot of fhought.
@HP In some way you are right. I spend quite a bit of time on that . I can let it go but I can’t. i have an urge to keep it nice.
One way of the other most of our life is spend on maintenance. It could be our bodies, our homes, our finances, our cars.
I’ve noticed the older I get the more maintenance time I spend in the bathroom. :-)

Brush your teeth, take out the garbage, change the oil, do the dishes, pay the bills, tip the waiter, walk the dog, water the plants, mow the lawn, feed the kids, wash the clothes then the car and on and on….........

Forget the sexbot. I want one that prints money

A-go buy a bag of weed when I’m running low-robot would be cool. Do they make those? If not I’ll go with a life-like sexbot that looks like Estelle Getty in 2009.

I want a robot that understands the truth, so that the next time Trump tells a lie it will laboriously make its way to Mar-a-Lago and break every one of his golf clubs.
