A report in Tokyo's Asahi daily newspaper says Toyota is endeavoring to start selling robots that can work in the home by 2010. The robots would primarily be designed to help the elderly, but could even serve tea to guests or take care of household chores.

Pretty cool stuff, as long as my new robot can bring me a beer!

From what I have seen these robots have made VERY large advancements in AI...but by 2010?..I dunno. Maybe as a VERY expensive conversation piece...but nothing that would actually be beneficial in regards to easing a persons workload.
