You make a great point. We have a lot of sci-fi that's been conditioning us to the idea of a world shared with a large cast of robotic members. I'm a geek who loves those kinds of fantasies. Yet, when I saw that fancy robotic espresso-maker in SF [1], I still reverted to childlike wonder state :) The way the robotic arm gives you a cheeky little wave when it's finished making your coffee is the perfect touch.
