Do you mean Motoko from Ghost In The Shell? She's a cyborg though not a gynoid (female humanoid robot) and any semblence of the massive amounts of processing power would be needed to mimic a human brain let alone handle all the signals to it via all the sensory data that we possess and have that fit into a roughly humanoid figure is well beyond what I believe will be seen for quite a long time and especially when it's quite unessesary given the tasks needed of machines and the ethical issue of giving a machine true sentience and still using them like a machine that would be the same as slaverly. Mind you slaverly of a synthetic organism but slaverly none the less.  
 
Anyway the cleaning robot would be great to have for the convience factor. I think the one I would like to keep because it looks really cool though is the building guide robot it reminds me of a mix between R2-D2, Daleks(the little camera underneath the black visor if brought out would look like a kickass eyestalk and the base of both look similar minus the round thins on the Daleks) , and some other fictional robot that I can't remember at the moment. Although he appears not to just spout gibberish or EXTERMINATE! 
 
Also FutureMatt's comment in the link (which I assume he's just trolling) made me chuckle.
