Domesticated androids will take over household chores such as the washing and cleaning – and even order the weekly shop.

That is good news for the nation’s stay-at-home partners, who will be able to get out and enjoy life.

Futurologist Dr Ian Pearson said at least 80% of drab tasks around the home will be done by robot helpers.

He said: “The more advanced technology becomes, the more we can focus on being human.”

It is predicted robots will manage their own team of mechanical cleaners, using drones to mop up spills on kitchen surfaces.

They will use UV light to kill bacteria in the bathroom and will even be able to redecorate a room.

And it means mums will no longer have to nag teenagers about untidy rooms.

Dr Pearson said: “Miniature robot tidiers are likely to be waiting until rooms are empty and then scurrying around picking up small objects.”

A full-time futurologist for BT for more than 15 years, he now runs his own institute Futurizon.

And he said the quality of people’s lives will be dramatically improved.

He added: “People won’t need to work as much.

We’ll have a nicer lifestyle with more time for relaxation.”
