Super-robots to tackle the chores: Machines 15 times stronger than humans will ‘start appearing in homes by 2030 costing £25,000 each’
- Researchers think robots and drones will do 90 per cent of chores in the 2030s
- They say that tiny drones will be used even for things like picking up socks
- Report claims robots 15 times stronger than humans to be in homes in 10 years
It will soon be time to ditch the rubber gloves and vacuum cleaner as robots and drones will carry out 90 per cent of chores, according to research.
Robots 15 times stronger than humans are predicted to start appearing in households in the 2030s, costing around £25,000 at first.
Tiny drones, costing as little as £1, will be used in everything from picking up specks of dust to watering plants.

The Life More Automated report’s co-author, Professor Mischa Dohler, said: ‘Automation is already so commonplace in today’s households from washing machines to dishwashers that we don’t even really think of it as automation. But this report examines how it is the key to an easy home life as it’s gradually helping us do less of the tasks we find more tedious.’
