We're actually really close to general robot agents that operate in your home. Check out googleAI's saycan & RT-1 systems

That's gonna be great until someone hacks it and has it stab me to death in my sleep.

Much like my fears about bluetooth connected cars being hacked to crash on the highway, it turns out that - by and large - nobody wants to kill me (or at least, not badly enough to do anything about it).

just unplug the robot before you go to sleep, an easy solution

More worried about government backdoors.

No way would I bring some company's robot into my house, especially not one that has anything to do with Google. Maybe it does your laundry and dishes for you, but you can bet that it'll be recording everything that it sees and hears and sending all that data back to the people it actually works for so that they can use that data against you or sell it to someone else who will.

Unless I can find a model I can verify has zero networking ability and isn't gathering and storing data for somebody else, no thanks!
