Sir James Dyson has a vision for the future: every household will have robots handling household tasks like vacuuming and cleaning windows and more. This week, Dyson announced the creation of a £5 million  robotics center at Imperial College London to usher in a day when every home is filled with "robots that understand the world around them".

Dyson has got a team of engineers working with scientists at Japan's Waseda University. They are the same guys that created the Twendy-One Robot android that obeys voice commands, provides nursing care and cooks.

Dyson’s firm, which includes about 2,000 engineers and scientists, will be working towards that goal. To a Jetson future, folks.
