The robot tipping point

Via CEABlog from a short time ago, we're getting close to the tipping point in spite of any reservations:
..there is still hesitation about surrendering too much control to artificial intelligence. Some factors that deter consumers from purchasing robots include total expenditure and technical faults. As a result, industry players are unable to generate enough sales volume, leading to an unhealthy reliance on government funding for research and development initiatives.
Nonetheless, it is a matter of time before a household robot manufacturer hits the performance versus pricing sweet spot.
 When robots take off with consumers, we can expect consumer spending to take off and fuel real economic growth.
