I would love to have something like this for all the chores around my house. But I also have serious reservations about the increased level insight into my private home life this could provide to the manufacturer. Look at cases like the ring camera security violations [1]. A moving robot could be an order of magnitude more invasive of your privacy. If I were to purchase this, I would want serious privacy guarantees.

I would want the robot to be programmed to immediately leave any room a member of our family enters, always cleaning only the empty rooms

I have decided I will be getting a robot once they are useful. But my plan is for it to only come out when no one is home or when everyone is upstairs (but not allowed to come in rooms where people are sleeping). It can do dishes while wearing a headlamp. They move so slowly it should be fairly quiet.
