Nearly four in ten household tasks could be performed by robots within a decade, according to research based on the opinions of artificial intelligence experts. Shopping, cleaning and cooking are all chores for which robots will soon be able to lend a helping hand to humans.

This research estimates that 39% of domestic tasks could be performed by robots by 2033. This figure corresponds to an overall average for a group of 17 identified household tasks.
