You can't mix really strong robots with humans without barriers separating them. That's one reason humanoid robots won't sell. They're dangerous. Real robots in real factories that make real stuff can juggle car engines. And they can tear you limb from limb. So they work behind barriers and intrusion detection systems.
Hence soft robots. They're safe. Also useless.

I would settle for a box in which I can dump sorted laundry and out of which falls folded laundry.
The second somebody manages this, I will rush out and throw my credit card at their store so hard it embeds itself in the counter like a ninja star.
This is the much more likely future of home robotics. Yes it will be a box, because it would be dangerous to let you stick your fingers inside that mechanism. It won't walk around.

Grow some imagination
