I wouldn't want to have about six human slaves at home to clean it, make
meals, serve etc. I would feel bad about them being slaves, and also I
might not be safe. On the other hand I would love to have about six
robots at home to keep the house clean and orderly, make beds and to
cook good meals and afterwards put away the dishes.
If you wonder about costs, see what the skeleton cost me at

Under the heading "skeleton" you will find fotos and costs.
