I wonder if it's really a market : aibo (Sony's robo-dog) was the most known of the robots but had to cease production in 2006, seven years after its first model.
It could be interesting to see what robots become in a cuple of decade.
Maybe will it become like the robots we see in "Roujin Z" (an anime from the early 90's talking about the desire of japanese society to be taken care of by robots to face the ageing issue)
I think japan wish it could replace manual work with robot worker
