I like the idea of the house being the central AI though and communicating to house robots through an wireless encrypted protocol to prevent inadvertant commands from other systems and hacking.
This is the way it's going to go in my opinion. In a house or office the robots would really be dumb actuators - puppets - being controlled from a central AI which integrates multiple systems together. That way you can keep the cost and maintenance requirements of the robot to a bare minimum. Such a system also future-proofs the robot in a rapidly changing software world, and allows intelligence to be provided as an internet based service. ----- This list is sponsored by AGIRI: http://www.agiri.org/email To unsubscribe or change your options, please go to: http://v2.listbox.com/member/?list_id=303
