From established firms to tech startups, one of the biggest emerging trends at this year's CES has been the number of home robots on show, all of whom are vying to be, in the words of the late Douglas Adams "Your plastic pal who's fun to be with."

And because it uses facial recognition it won't accidentally read the wrong message to the wrong person.
