You had me at "laundry folding robot". Where do I sign up?

I think the point that I'm not really understanding is where the commodity-level multipurpose robots come from. It's one thing to take an existing Toyota Camry and trick out it's computer systems with deep learning and advanced algorithms and sensors. It's another thing entirely to have multipurpose robots everywhere that can replicate not only some degree of low level human intelligence but also key human physical characteristics (senses, dexterity, strength, etc.)

I am sure (and really hope) that we get there soon but it seems like a 2 or 3 decades away at a bare minimum.
