The idea of a “sociable” robot with whom we can have relatively natural interactions has been the lore of science fiction for decades. Interactive robotic machines have been the stuff of our creative imagination right from Lost in Space to Star Wars to WallE and beyond. However, we will start to see more practical implementations of personal robotics devices in 2019 from a number of major tech vendors. 
For example, grapevine has it that Amazon is working on some type of personal assistant-based robot leveraging their Alexa voice-based digital assistant technology. Though it is unclear what form and what sort of capabilities the device might exactly take but some type of mobile visual smart display that also offers mechanical capabilities (lifting, carrying, sweeping, etc.) might make sense.
Truth be told, a number of companies have tried and failed to bring personal robotics to the mainstream in the recent past. However, several technologies and concepts are coming together to make the potential more viable in 2019. The scarily realistic capabilities now exhibited by companies like Boston Dynamics show how far the movement, motion, and environmental awareness capabilities have advanced in the robotics world, and this is only from a purely mechanical perspective. Additionally, the increasingly conversational and empathetic AI capabilities now being brought to voice-based digital assistants (Alexa, Google etc.) demonstrate how our exchanges with machines are becoming more natural. The appeal of products like Sony’s updated Aibo robotic dog highlights the willingness of people towards interacting with machines in new ways.
Robotics-focused hardware and software development platforms like Isaac software development kit and Nvidia’s latest Jetson AGX Xavier board, the growing ecosystem around the open source ROS (Robot Operating System), and the key advances in computer vision all underscore the growing body of work being done to enable both commercial and consumer applications of robots in 2019.
