Short YouTube segment (presenter Tom Burton) arguing that humanoid personal robots may arrive in households within roughly 18–36 months (speaker initially says 18–24 months, hedges to 24–36). The speaker references a bet with Max Meister (who suggested 2030) and points to on-screen footage of a humanoid robot using a pressure washer and wiping windows as evidence of rapid progress.

So, you know, there's just some great movement happening with humanoid robots. I made a little bet with our friend Max Meister in, in Munich, Germany, and he said 2030, before we would have a humanoid robot in the household. I'm saying 18 to 24 months. I'm probably wrong. It's probably 24 to 36. But every month it seems like we're seeing. In fact, sometimes it's even more than that. So if you look on your screen now, we have a humanoid robot that's got a pressure washer in someone's driveway. But, yeah, it's. It's okay. So it's holding a trigger and it's, you know, this humanoid robot. But now it is wiping the windows down. Right. I like the cord there.
