Whether the motivation for adoption of the new technology was one of time, physical disabilities or the novelty of a cool gadget to do the work for them, robot kits are merely one example of how today’s and tomorrow’s robots may be used more personally to help and to serve people. Making a jump from the industrial settings of the 1960s when robots first began taking their places on factory floors, today’s robots are hoping to set up home, sometimes quite literally, as assistive and service-oriented tools that take on more human-like qualities and tasks as well.

Companies like Sony and Honda are entering the game, developing their own service-oriented robots to make human life and tasks easier, like Honda’s ASIMO, a walking-talking robot that runs courtesy of 26 separate motors.
