What a lot of other posts are getting at is that this sounds like a cool challenge, but that it doesn't exactly solve a pain point for anyone. No one is thinking, Man do I need a robot to pour a bath for me when I come home, but only if I haven't showered that morning! There is nothing wrong with solutions looking for problems: there are a zillion of them on store shelves right now. But this means that 1) you'll have to overcome an education barrier to convince people why they NEED your product, and 2) you'll be able to get much less insight about whether anyone will buy your idea. These sorts of ideas could be bad for a new startup. It's easier to build and sell something like this if you have a larger R&D budget, a large marketing budget, or a large reach so that you can get it in front of potential buyers.
