"robot needs to be controlled"

Imagine paying 720 dollars per day so that some employee drives a robot around your house, looking at things and just cleans surfaces or rearranges stuff.

And they probably pay the employees the absolute minimum and they tell their friends where your good stuff is.

That is an expensive privacy nightmare.

not to mention remote exploitation basically means anyone could control it inside your house. what could go wrong?

Awesome! Now instead of paying $15/hour for someone to clean my house i can pay a company a higher price to hire someone in africa for less than $1/hour to control a robot remotely and clean my house instead
