Speaking of that, I wonder when there will be robots (i.e., with good software) that will help take out the garbage, clean the toilets, and possibly fix plumbing?

Lol, plumbing especially will never be automated

Plumbing is automation. Without plumbing, human labor is used to haul water from wells and cart away human waste.

I think there's some confusion here between plumbing as in the trade and plumbing as in the infrastructure.

it might be in large future apartment buildings where the necessary robotics are built in during construction

You’ll have closed black box plumbing systems which are meant to fix themselves, but in fact constantly fail. Then you’ll have a cadre of rogue plumbers, who will fix the problems illegally and off the books. These plumbers will all look like Robert De Niro:

I think we'll eliminate pipes (e.g traditional homes) before that happens.. we might as well be living in the fully sci-fi speculated future where nanobots control all physical structure and we have near-infinite power sources

That would be interesting, I wonder if there would be nanobot-like "pipes" (or some other framework) built into the physical structure of homes?

Never is a pretty strong word.

You're asserting that robots will never reach human level performance for everyday tasks?

You inaccurately generalized my comment. And, plumbing is not an everyday task.

> You inaccurately generalized my comment.

I thought I might, but was hoping you would respond with a more correct generalization.

This is solvable with management and hiring a full time house keeper that is empowered to call a plumber.

That's one way. Though, I wonder about the groups of people who own houses and might want to fix plumbing more independently?
