That's a disingenuous statement, I think.

I'm not sure how there's much of a difference between someone being physically present in your house, and someone being remotely present in your house, via a teleoperated robot.

In fact, thinking about it, it would be worse. Would you rather have a cleaner that you've met, talked to, and judged to be a suitable person to be let loose in your house do the cleaning, or an anonymous person or persons you've never even seen?
