Experts have got together to discuss the future of home automation and reveal their predictions for the future of home automation.

According to futurologists, around 90 per cent of household chores will be automated thanks to robots, drones and AI by 2040.

These will be carried out by drones, robots and virtual AI butlers that will help with laundry, dusting and even making the bed, they claim.
