When My Robot Comes Home

What happens when your next helper, companion, and caregiver isn't another person, but a robot? For most of human history, science fiction promised a future filled with intelligent machines. That future is no longer decades away. It is arriving now. In When My Robot Comes Home, attorney, author, and storyteller Tom Swartz explores the coming household robot revolution and what it will mean for ordinary people, especially seniors, families, and individuals living with disabilities. Through real-world examples, personal stories, and understandable explanations of the latest advances in robotics and artificial intelligence, Swartz examines how robots may soon: Assist older adults in remaining independent. Help people with disabilities live fuller lives. Perform household chores and daily tasks. Provide companionship and reduce loneliness. Support emergency services and community organizations. Transform businesses, schools, and family life. The book also takes readers inside the companies building tomorrow's robots, including Tesla, Figure AI, Apptronik, and others racing to bring humanoid assistants into our homes. Part technology guide, part memoir, and part glimpse into the future, When My Robot Comes Home asks one fascinating question: When the doorbell rings and your first robot arrives, will you be ready?
