Bengaluru residents are opting for a different maid service.  What do you suppose it is?  This robot makes cooking, cleaning, and cutting simple by assisting with domestic tasks.
 
Seven months ago, Manisha Roy, a 35-year-old Hebbal resident, replaced her cook with a kitchen robot, according to a TOI story. It has been a transformation for the better, she says. Her family now prefers robot-cooked dishes like poha, pav bhaji, and rajma rice, including her husband Naveen and their small daughter Nakshatra. Using a smartphone app that walks her through each stage of the process, Manisha controls the robot.

She only needs to add ingredients; the machine takes care of the rest, including cutting, frying, and even steaming, all without her presence. She can multitask thanks to the robot, which makes handling other tasks simpler. Though the robot costs ₹40,000, she finds it more cost-effective than hiring a cook, saving roughly ₹9,000 a year. In a similar vein, city architect meera Vasudev has been living without a maid for the past 18 months.

She cleans every day using robotic vacuums and mop heads. Despite certain drawbacks, such as difficulty with thick carpets or tough stains, the machines perform admirably for routine cleaning duties. Other inhabitants, such as koramangala resident Renuka Gurunathan, have embraced robotic sweepers and dishwashers.

For deep cleaning, she continues to use professional cleaners, a practice she feels ought to be more widespread. The functions that these smart gadgets play in the home are also changing.  Men tend to do more duties and are frequently enthused by technology.  According to Manisha, her husband now likes using the robot to cook.

Tushaara Nayan and other homemakers have also switched. Despite their initial reluctance to replace the maid, her family now appreciates the robot's food. Even while these technologies are simplifying daily tasks, some people think they shouldn't entirely replace human labor.

Social activist Geeta menon believes that rather than replacing domestic workers, the emphasis should be on defending their rights.  She advises IT companies to look at worker-supporting tools like wallet PLATFORM' target='_blank' title='digital-Latest Updates, Photos, Videos are a click away, CLICK NOW">digital paystubs or wage calculators. Bengaluru's increasing faith in home automation, driven by factors like cost-effectiveness and convenience, signals a change in the way urban families are managed, striking a balance between technological advancement and human needs.
