Actually I like the idea of lifting and I have a couple of ideas that go along with it.
See, as a kid I always imagined that we'd have robots helping us in our homes and garages but the ones we design don't seem to have much relation to the 'real' world.
So I want a robot that will set the table. Fast, accurate, plates, knives, forks and spoons. Or clear the table.
I want a robot that will unload the dishwasher. Or move clothes from the washer to the dryer.
Or along another 'lift" idea, I want a robot that will locate the correct spot on the frame and jack up a car while another robot in the alliance loosens the lug nut and the third robot removes the wheel.
How about emptying the trash?
Anyway, I want robots that are useful. We already have vacuuming robots and even some lawn mowing robots in the real world. What else can we do?
