Dude, Ebay.
I don't think I'd let my plastic robot fight a fire, even a little one. Not even if that were $760 in today's dollars.
Somehow, I don't think fighting fires is what that housewife pictured here had in mind...
Dig the painting behind them. Dante-inspired?
Is it me or is that robot eying that housewife lustfully?
#5 -- I don't think it's just you. This photo has sex all over it -- the house wife's fantasy-answer to all the cheating absentee husbands... like those glorified cheaters fucking their secretaries in AMC's series "Mad Men." I'd even go so far as to say that the robot looks a little black (or at least wearing black-face). This was 1961 after all.
She'll sleep well tonight!
Bet her name is Kate. Kate or Cindy or Crystal or Candy, Mercedes or Joan, Betty or Brenda, Suzie or Anita or Phoebe or Jack, Jackie-ooooooo.
The way she's holding the magazine, it's like she's trying to block the robot's hideous visage from her field of view.
"I DO NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR COMMAND MISTRESS . . . HOW CAN I 'POLISH YOUR RUG'? THE FLOOR IS OF SYNTHA- LINOLEUM AND IS NOT CARPETED. IT DOES NOT COMPUTE."
Even with $7000, I imagine you'd be hard-pressed to build a useful humanoid robot. I'm thinking this was either a concept piece or an outright hoax.
On the other hand, over at Instructables, they had a contest to see who could build the coolest robot, using an iRobot device as the base. There were some awfully cool ideas in the bunch, including some household servant bots.
An example:

Still not humanoid, though.
typical. The sexes look at the photo. The immediate male fantasy is the robot is servicing the house-wife. The immediate female fantasy is: "oh good, finally someone else to wash the floor".
@ #11 Takuan:
No, that's both sexes' fantasy. Women just keep it to themselves.
@ #11 Takuan:
:-/
@ #4 Stu Mark:
"Guernica"-inspired for sure, maybe Dante too.
This is in the family photo album for B166ER, and thus began Man's own demise...
(Animatrix reference there, friends.)
Looks like a man in a suit to me.
#9: LOL!
Mui crappy weekend in so many different ways...at least ending it with a good LOL.
Re: the picture of the robot lighting the lady's cigarette.
My own lady-partner assures me this clearly depicts a post coital smoke.
