It does seem unsettling to have a high tech cleaning robot that is simply an extension of a person. Privacy aside, I think it might be because it seems like kind of a waste of all that technology. I would feel less uneasy if it weren't a 1:1 relationship and the robot could do some of the work without a human controlling it.
For example, maybe the human trains the robot so the robot can do some of the work itself and the human just fills in the more difficult work or the work that is never the same. For example, it would probably be hard to train a robot to put away clothes and toys in my kid's rooms, we'll get there eventually of course, but a human could do that part of it and then they could trigger the vacuum to run when they're done with the hard stuff. The human would also need to be "on call" to sort out a problem when the robot gets stuck or can't perform a task.
