Robots in 2010 according to prediction in 2001

In http://www.cnet.com/4520-6022_1-102091-1.html Amber Ascot asked in 2001 several research institutes about their vision and predictions. One remarkable prediction is from Sony, inventor of the Aibo:
In 2010 advanced personal robots will appear, as will robot-assisted surgery. People will adopt robotics into their bodies.
I might have missed them, but where are the personal robots? There's a few: mowing robot, vacuum cleaners... Though convenient, not very "personal", for anybody can use them.
I predict that we have to wait another 9 years....
