Juniper Research is predicting that one in ten American homes will have a robot by 2020. Unfortunately, all other Americans will be homeless by then. There’ll be robots zipping around the sewers, beating you penniless filthbags with batons. Meanwhile, the 1% will be getting blowjobs from gorgeous androids. It’s America, love it or leave it. Oh, and fuck you.

From Arjun Kharpal at CNBC:

Warnings that robots will eventually wipe out humans may seem like no more than science fiction, but the machines are increasingly encroaching on the jobs humans used to do, with many Americans expected to own one in 4 years’ time.

One in ten American households will own a consumer robot by 2020, according to Juniper Research, up from 1 in 25 this year.

Juniper made it clear that the robot might not necessarily be a humanoid but more suited to performing a particular task. The research firm defined its version of a robot as an “autonomous, mobile electromechanical machine, capable of being programmed and re-programmed, that is used in the home or has non-commercial applications. It should be able to perceive its environment to some extent and react to it.”

Far from cooking us food or driving us around, robots will have a less exciting purpose to start with. Juniper said that robots will “usher in a new era of housekeeping.” The research firm pointed to Roomba, a disk shaped robot vacuum cleaner and Droplet Robotics’ Sprinkler, which helps water the yard.
