If you won't mind shelling out $175, 000 you can take home a humanoid robot for a companion. Meet Aria, one of the AI robots on display at the CES( Consumer Electronics Show) held in Las Vegas earlier this month. This robot can converse with you and was interviewed at the event. Tech companies all over seem to be in a race to develop the most humanoid robot. Robots which can be useful in a wide range of areas - from education and entertainment to health care and public relations. What do you think? Do you see a humanoid robot as part of your household in the near future? See the link below:

They can do that too. Some can also speak 15 languages.

I can’t imagine spending that amount of money on that, even if I had it in abundance.

I suppose they will get cheaper as the competition steps up.

Technology is scary! I find these inventions creepy. I don't see myself having a robot helping me wash the dishes or cleaning the toilet.

No, thank you. I find them creepy. If the AI that was allowed to talk with people online became bigoted and racist just from talking with people, what could one of these things do in the wrong hands. So far, all the AIs have been hooked into the internet in order to give "better" responses. If they're hooked into the internet, that means hackers can get in and reprogram them to say and do anything... I'd rather not have something like that around me.

I rather wait until they go down in price. But I wouldn't mind having it clean the house.

A lower price for a house help. Sounds reasonable.

No, I don’t like humanoid robot in my household although I have a cleaning robot now since Christmas. A gift from my son. It helps a lot.

@Kandae11 It cleans the tiles of our floors, wet or dry. I sometimes make a schedule although I am always at home when it cleans the house. I have to put the chairs on our sofa so it can clean the places where the chairs were located. It is really a good help and doing a good job.

I am sure they will one day be a regular thing. But not for that price. It's cheaper to marry and someone and be miserable. lol
