As a hotel housekeeper, I doubt I will ever be replaced, let alone in the next 20 years. You're telling me that anything below the highest of end hotels are gonna be able to even afford housekeeping robots? They can barely keep us paid! And even one of these hypothetical cleaning devices is gonna cost more than our entire team's yearly salary. And what if they start breaking down? Can't call someone in last-minute to cover a shift when your entire workforce is down because management didn't remember to plug "the team" in the night before!
How would that even work? Any cleaning maintenance robots are like these noisy checker discs that scuttle around on the floor and most of the cleaning is at human hand-level. Making beds correctly and to standard isn't that easy and takes a certain amount of dexterity and fast jerks to accomplish. How is a robot gonna do that, exactly? We don't even have prosthetics that mimic a human hand with the same speed and strength but you're telling me they will have a whole ass robot ready by 2044? Look up "robot soccer" to see how far humanized automaton technology is these days. It's not that impressive.
And keep in mind how FAST we need to go. Robots aren't fast. Even the most expensive roomba-like vacuum bot out there takes at least 20 minutes to vacuum a medium sized room while that's the time limit for the ENTIRE room! No way these bots can be as productive as a human with a mop, dust rag, and the will to make it happen.

I am uncertain because I have been waiting for such a "house cleaning robot" since around 1975 when a humorous song came out that included "my new invention will do your chores
Take out your garbage and wax your floors
Just plug it in the wall it's completely automatic
Hang it in the hall or you could hide it in the attic" (Five Man Electrical Band). I already have vaccuum robot but it does not work as well as the one I have to push and it is a far cry from doing tasks like making beds, doing laundry, dusting entire home, cleaning cupboards, and so on. I just don't see it happening soon.

AI already does a lot of the heavy lifting when it comes to house work. But there are things such as folding clothes, cleaning in higher places, eg polishing doors, handles, mopping floors, and regardless of how small a place is, some people are just lazy, too lazy to do even the smallest things.

Also, people, myself included, would like someone to be in contact with, just feels more then a little robotic mechanism walking around my house

I run an in-home senior care agency. The caregivers have to interact with the clients personally, as well as clean bathrooms, sinks, mirrors, take laundry up and down steps, run errands and grocery shopping sweep and mop floors and take out garbage. Unless you had a full bodied physical standing robot with hands and arms that could do all of that, and maneuver, all the aspects of the house steps included. It would be difficult for a robot to do that. Far beyond a Roomba vacuum on the floor, these tasks require much more intricacy.

Trusted human housekeepers are hard to find. Since technology is rapidly accelerating people will turn even more to A.I.

The requirements needed for an autonomous robot would be 1) smell 2) physical flexibility/durability 3) reasoning 4) electronic communications 5) patience 6) able to scrub hard surfaces with different contours 7) able to half finish a job in one room and return to complete when unoccupied 8) to understand that the daily task and order of things may change 9) able to operate other electronic devices ie.. ovens for proper cleaning 10) able to lift any type of material such as cast iron stove covers, toilet lids, garbage cans, rugs 11) a battery that lasts between 3-6 hours depending on size of home 12) a charging port small enough to be placed in an inconspicuous area out of eye sight.

House cleaning can be a complex and challenging task that demands careful attention to detail. From deactivating alarms and opening locks with a deft touch to lifting dog gates and ensuring that cats don't escape, there are numerous variables to consider. It's also important to use the appropriate cleaning agents, such as the "right" soap for washing dishes. In addition to these practical considerations, there's also the aesthetic aspect to consider, such as carefully dusting delicate items like plastic vines or checking the condition of a fragile vase that may already be cracked. To successfully clean a home, it requires precise movements and a keen eye for detail.

The Pandemic is causing housekeepers not to want to come back to work. Its time to get creative

I'm honestly fine with that as long as the robots wear cute cat maid outfits. Otherwise, I'd prefer to be the one in that outfit cleaning up your house.

hotel housekeeping is very detailed, you would need a very advanced robot with minute hand movements.
