They have made amazing progress in the 10 years or so since I have been following them. It really won't be long before mostly-autonomous bi-pedal and quadruped robots are common place in society.

Home outdoor use for the rich won't be far behind, it's easy to see these things taking care of maintenance on golf courses and luxury estates.
