    What do you call a robot that automatically changes your cat litter? How about the Litter Robot? This aptly-named product comes in a variety of shapes and sizes to accommodate every kitty. Unfortunately, the Litter Robot hasn’t actually figured out how to make cat poop disappear. This kitty porta potty automatically changes the litter and dumps the solids into a waste basket

    How often do you go to the dry cleaners? With the Swash, you can bring that number down to practically zero. It refreshes clothes with a “precision misting” and a “rapid thermal drying” process. It works on fabrics that are too delicate to put in a washing machine, such as cashmere or lace, and removes odor and wrinkles in about 10 minutes.

The iRobot Braava jet 240 takes the hassle out of hardwood floors, for instance. The Bravva navigates around furniture and other household items in a similar fashion to Roomba vacuums, and mops your floor while doing so.

Will we ever have a robotic butler that can handle emptying out the dishwasher? Maybe. The SpotMini from Boston Dynamics is getting better at being a butler. Of course, this robotic dog isn’t quite ready for the real world yet.
