> humanoid or otherwise

I think that's the key. I like my Roomba, and I didn't have to take out a loan to get it. Humanoid robots will always be more expensive than a Roomba. Short of heavy subsidies, no amount of scale will change that.

yeah but what if your roomba could flawlessly do your dishes and laundry and clean the windows and take out the trash? I'm with mrshadowgoose. I'd buy that for car $ (probably before I'd buy a car)

Even a car-priced robot would be a paradigm shift. No subsidies needed.
