1: if i could have a robot that could do anything at all, i would like one that could clean the house so i could focus on other things without having to worry about that. the reason i would choose this is because it's the most time consuming thing that unpleasant to do.

Robotics is also another interesting field, as the interface to “read our minds” becomes more sophisticated, we could use it to control things remotely such as a robotic body. Take for example a nuclear power plant. It could be beneficial to use remote robotic bodies to handle work in such a potentially hazardous environment rather than having the person go in and do the job manually. Because robots would not suffer from exposure to toxic chemicals and high doses of radiation, they are a prime candidate for a way to improve hazardous jobs. Also besides work place use, remote robotics also has a private use. Say that a family member is half way across the world, and instead of talking over the phone , you can interact with them through a robotic body. Although remote robotics may seem like a good idea from the previous statement, it also can have it's downfalls. The technology will be used by the military as a replacement for humans if it is economical to do so, and this then becomes an ethical problem about “robotic killing machines”.
