Your robot vacuum already knows your floor plan. Your lawnmower knows the shape of your yard. But what happens when these simple tools get smarter, grow legs, and become true robotic roommates? The robots are no longer just at the door; they're inside. And they're learning everything about you.

Welcome to "Robots at Home." In this episode, we're auditing our new automated assistants. We’ll investigate the very real privacy risks of letting a roving camera map your home and explore the complex safety challenges of a machine built to interact with kids and pets. We’ll also ask the ultimate practical question: is the convenience worth the price tag? We're calculating the true return on investment (ROI) for these digital butlers. Are we welcoming a new age of convenience, or just paying for a high-tech spy that can't climb stairs?
