Ask HN: What task would you pay for a mobile robot to do for you weekly?

1 points by AndrewKemendo ↗ HN
What would you pay $100 per week for a robot to come to your home, office or wherever to perform a task.

Literally anything you can think of. No wrong answers.

Put my neighbor's trash bins back around their house instead of on the sidewalk after the truck empties them.

If it could wash my dishes & do my laundry, if this was actually feasible, but that's probably pretty far off.

Mow the lawn, empty the trash cans, scrub the toilets and kitchen floor, load the dish washer and laundry machine, stock each bathroom with toilet paper, cut my hair (every two weeks or monthly).

You would have to pay me $100 to have my hair cut by a robot.

Life like (cherry 2000 type) robot or 50's Sci Fi bot? Depending on the type my answer would be the same as others have posted... Plus a GF replacement. I dislike standard household chores but it's tolerable because the rules for completing the chores remain the same. I cannot say the same about a dating and interpersonal relationships. With a robot to replace that the rules could remain fairly consistent.

Any job that I can could find where someone will pay me more than $100 (+ expenses) to do for them. I'm not willing to pay $100 for anything, but I will certainly be a middleman or broker.
