Robots are Here to Save the Day – Maybe?

Whether you’re embracing our robotic overlords, they are quickly becoming a mainstay throughout many aspects of daily life. 

New York State has recently invested and distributed 800 Alexa-like devices to accompany elderly individuals in an effort to combat the “loneliness epidemic”. We’re unsure whether or not the new robots are trained to engage with Grandma about a heated political exchange over dinner. 
Dyson, the masterminds behind overly-engineered vacuums and fans, have also recently announced that they’re entering the robotics market. Rather than accompanying seniors, the latest Dyson products will help with household chores like vacuuming furniture and washing dishes. Call us back when our robot pal can cook a 5-course meal!
