When do you think we will see household robots like honda's aismo?
Answer:
Never.
The idea of a human-looking and acting robot is mostly stupid. There may be a few small uses for such things, as toys etc. But at the end of the day, we will always be much better of with a robot built specifically for a job - no fancy AI or knowledge of how to walk etc.
Eg. a robot with wheels is much easier to build, runs into less problems, and is generally more adaptable than one with legs.
Long way off... they're cool but can't do anything practical yet and aren't autonomous to the point where they can deal with random stimulus.
In the meantime, buy a Roomba.
