Mopping floors, wiping windows, and jobs that fall in the "drudgery" catagory are below human capabilities. I hope that as soon as we are capable of pulling people out of those types of jobs, we do so.
Evolution means we're going to have to move above work like that. I can only hope I live to see some of it.

The problem with this is, (and sorry, I missed your post earlier) what are all the people going to do when the grunt work is done by robots? Will the economy create new jobs? Something like 50% of our workforce could easily be replaced by robots in the near future.
Robotics is facinating and scary at the same time.
