Your personal robo-butler: Futuristic humanoid can boil the kettle, do the hoovering and fold your laundry - but fans claim it belong in a HORROR movie

From making tea to cleaning the floors, everyday life often feels like one huge chore. But the opportunity to offload such menial tasks to your own personal robot helper may arrive sooner than you think. In a promo clip, the advanced humanoid boils the kettle, vacuums floors, carries groceries, cleans windows and puts up a picture frame. At the end of the video, it takes a well-earned sit in the longue – while its blissfully-happy owners drink wine in the next room. Although it is currently a prototype, the creation could be autonomously completing chores in customers' homes by the end of the decade.
