In a span of six years, more people around the world will potentially be living with robots – the new extended family made possible by artificial intelligence (AI), 5G and other hi-tech advances.

The global penetration rate for home robots is predicted to reach 14% by 2025, according to the second edition of Huawei Technologies’ Global Industry Vision (GIV) released on Friday.
