There are some real advantages of having a robot maid: You don't have to worry about cleaning or menial chores. She'll take care of routine tasks like making coffee or tea. Her face never changes expression. She'll willingly comply with all sorts of absurd sexual requests. Ahem.
The only problem with this whole setup is that I don't drink coffee. So I guess I'd just need to break her out in the wintertime for when I'm aching for some hot chocolate. Still, she'll be good for entertaining the guests.
All I have to wonder is: how does she get from making the coffee to bringing it to you? Hopping off the counter can't be good for the pint-sized robot...
Still impresses me that the Clockwork guy was able to pre-program such a small robot. The receiver for it's remote is in the head along with some of the various computational circuitry (though for this video he utilized mostly pre-programmed routines).
It's still the first and only real robot I've seen that I'd consider cute.
