A woman in the United States recently hired a robot to do her housework, paying the equivalent of about 40,000 won per hour.

How did it turn out? Let's take a look.

A humanoid robot moves busily around the house.

It looks quite impressive as it sucks up dust from the floor with a vacuum cleaner.

A woman living in San Francisco, U.S., hired a humanoid robot for household chores, paying about 40,000 won in Korean currency per hour.

While she was satisfied with the cleaning results, the robot's movements were slower than a human's.

Moreover, it was reported that the robot did not move on its own, but was instead remotely controlled by an operator from the robotics company.

As the video went viral, a debate ensued online.

Some expressed concerns that robots could take over human jobs, while others responded that the robot's operating speed was too slow and clumsy, making it still premature for robots to take over household chores completely.
