In time it could be programmed to fetch a cooler of beer to enjoy as you watch it mow the lawn, wash the car, maybe some light gardening, clean out the garage, clean up after the kids and pets, and then cook lunch! However if you decide to go the robotic route I would budget for solar panels and a windmill or two. The electricy bills will be substatial!

But how COOL would that be! Set him to patrol the house at night. Answer the door. Book appointments and screen calls for you via voice recognition and wireless connection. The possibilities are virtually endless. The only problem I can see is when SkyNet decides we as a species just aren't needed anymore. {SHUDDER}
