<P></P><P>
Technology unveiled at the world's biggest gathering of industry leaders heralds the arrival of 'house-bots', according to group buying director at PC World, Simon Turner.
</P><P>
He pointed to the example of sophisticated new robots which have been developed essentially as toys as opening the door to wider acceptance of the technology.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=507617&in_page_id=1965"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/www.dailymail.co.uk/img/8D2E2FCC-7B20-4B73-8D47-7EC9F6BCCDF3" alt="" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=507617&in_page_id=1965"><P>
Among the latest examples unveiled at the Consumer Electronics Show(CES) in Las Vegas were the Spykee series developed by Meccano and Tribot and Rovio, from Wow wee.

However, even more sophisticated worker robots are in the pipeline, such as the iRobiQ, from Yujin Robots of South Korea.
</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/technology/technology.html?in_article_id=507617&in_page_id=1965"><P>
The robots - like iRobiQ - which are linked into the home's own technology and broadband internet service, will effectively become the technology hubs of the home.
