What's Home Robotics? During the course of the last 50 years mankind has automated many of the routine chores at home. Washing machines, dishwashers and dryers are found in almost every home in the western world these days. The next step in this natural evolution is to automate tasks that require motion in the space of the home or the garden, such as cleaning and mowing. A new category of home appliances is required in order to do this, appliances that are able to move in order to perform their tasks and avoid objects, pets and people in their way. This emerging new category of appliances is called Home Robotics, and we expect that in the years to come these machines will become as common in our homes as washing machines are today.
