The "Smart Home" is a futuristic upgrade to your current living situation! It controls: lights, kitchen/bathroom appliances, entertainment systems, doors/windows, temperature, security cameras, etc.. Smart Home can be controlled through voice activation or mobile device. All tasks can be set to a schedule. Smart Home cannot carry a conversation.

The "Robot Maid" is a personal assistant that makes your life easier! It can cook, clean, preform scheduled tasks, and behave semi-autonomously. Robot Maid comes with several personality templates, accepts verbal commands, and can carry a basic conversation. Robot Maid cannot perform intellectually complex tasks such as driving or filing taxes. Robot Maid will never harm a human being. Battery lasts 14 hours. When battery is low, it will plug itself into the wall socket and enter sleep mode for 10 hours.

It depends. Do either of them connect to the internet, or can they just be managed by a local server running open source software. If they can then the robot, otherwise neither.

Was going to say the same. Both are useful, but if they aren't open source and locally hosted on a server I own and control, I can't trust them... But if I can, I'd pick the robot maid because that's much more useful; can do anything a smart home can, and much more.
