Yeah we used to imagine a future where all the household tasks were done by robots, and we humans busied ourselves with intellectual work (e.g. The Jetsons).
But as it turns out, generating text and computer files is relatively easy for machines, but physical robotics in uncontrolled dynamic environments is a tough problem.
That pretty much sums it up. Of course, and it might just be with hindsight, but sometimes I do wonder why anyone ever thought things would turn out like that? ๐ค
