Today\u2019s smart homes<\/a> are still a far cry from the futuristic visions of the last century.\u00a0 Home automation has certainly advanced over the last one hundred years.\u00a0 Think about the washer and dryer, and even the personal computer.\u00a0 It’s time for domestic robots in home.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve seen episodes of the 1960\u2019s TV show The Jetsons, you remember how their domestic robot. Rosie the Robot cooked, cleaned and was a companion for Elroy.\u00a0 Rosie\u2019s legacy has set the bar very high for domestic robots \u2013 and we are approaching that standard rapidly!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today we take for granted many of the automated systems in our home.  What takes minutes with the help of our modern appliances, took hours with early rudimentary counterparts; and most likely an entire day without any automated assistance.  Certainly the average person fifty years ago would not have imagined their home being automated by programming their appliances, and certainly not on a cell phone.  The 1962 and 1964 World\u2019s Fair introduced the futuristic smart home to the average person<\/a>; and to some extent, we\u2019ve already surpassed those expectations.  We were introduced to the idea of a centralized \u201cbrain\u201d that controlled the home in 1962; and computerized appliances and time saving devices in 1964.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
