Okay, though we’re still far from a true robot butler. I don’t know if we’re ten years away though, especially if you’re tolerant in what you expect a butler to be able to do (welcome guests, take their names, point them in the right direction, answer basic questions? We can already do it. Go up a flight of stairs? Not yet.)
(for what it’s worth, I work on this robot for a living)
And how is it going?

You can always just weld the butler on top of Spot https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=M8YjvHYbZ9w (this does not seem to be a significant blocker)
Cool project! Do you think those robots are going to be a big commercial success?
There are already quite a few of them deployed in stores in Japan, interacting with customers, so for now it’s going okay :)
