Tired of housework and wishing someone would take care of all the chores? If one company in Wuhan, Hubei province, has its way, all the daily domestic drudgery would soon be the responsibility of robot housekeepers that could become as common as basic household appliances in the future.
Wuhan-based Hubei Giga World Robot Co has announced plans to send 100 humanoid robots to ordinary households on a free trial basis. The project is set to begin in the third quarter of this year and is seen as a milestone in advancing the large-scale application of robots in real households.
