robot butler
Automated household attendant
A robot butler is an automated domestic servant, either a humanoid machine that performs household tasks or a fanciful vision of future home automation.
The term evokes science fiction imagery of mechanical servants attending to wealthy households: Every smart home company promises a robot butler, but we're still stuck with voice assistants.
The concept combines anxieties and fantasies about technology replacing human labor.
