As robots start to play even larger roles in our lives, wealthy people will own robots who act as servants or caregivers. People looking to purchase robots for their homes will work with robot counselors to determine which model is best suited to a family's particular needs. If a robot does not fit in with the family, the counsellor will be on hand to determine better options and to provide care and customer service.

Successful robot counsellors will have skill sets similar to those of today's family counsellors. This means a keen understanding of social work, family counseling and sociology. Robot counsellors will also have training in sales and marketing.
