home servant robot wanders about picking up dirty dishes, delivering them to the dishwasher robot. The pantry, refrigerator, and cooking robots work smoothly to prepare the day’s meal and finally, place the completed meal onto the dishes provided by the pantry robot. All this could dynamically alter the way we design and construct interiors and kitchens.

Some Robots will take care of children by playing with them, reading to them, and singing songs. Educational toys are already doing this. In addition to education some robots will do household chores: vacuuming, dusting and cleaning up. Eventually their range of abilities will expand.Some may end up being built into homes or furniture. Some will be mobile capable

of wandering on their own.

These developments will require a co-evolutionary process of adaptation for both people and devices. This is common with our technologies: we reconfigure the way we work and live to make things possible for our machines. Just look at our automobile system, for which we have altered our home to include garages and driveways sized for our cars, and built a massive worldwide highway system, traffic signaling system, and pedestrian passageways. Homes, too, have been transformed to accommodate the multiple wires and pipes of the ever increasing infrastructure of the modern life. Just as we accommodated the home for all these changes, I expect

modification to accommodate robots. Slow modification, to be sure, but we will ensure their success by minimizing obstacles. After all, the vacuum-cleaning robot will need a place to empty its dirt, and the garbage robot will need to be able to carry the garbage outside the home. Even Robot quarters in homes that have specially built niches where the robots reside, out of the way when they are not active. We have closet and pantries for today appliances why not ones especially for robots with door that can be controlled by the robots, outlets so they can recharge and waste receptors. Robots at first will need smooth floors, without obstacles. Door thresholds might have to be eliminated, some locations might have to be specially marked, perhaps with inferred transmitters built
