Opinions

This is the page where Home and Robot stops reporting and starts arguing. First-person columns on robots in the home: what a launch or trend actually means, what the evidence supports and what is (or is not) ready for your house. For the straight facts, see News. For deep dives across articles linked to a specific subject, see Series. Come here when you want an opinion you can trust — and push back on if you want.
