Might one refer Sir to that fine documentary series "Sewermen" on 5/Paramount wherein one sees the robotic equipment available to said chaps (and chapesses as it transpires).
Some of the fatbergs on that prog proved so recalcitrant that after spending £0.5M, they gave up & put a new sewer in.
(especially in science fiction) a machine resembling a human being and able to replicate certain human movements and functions automatically.
"the robot closed the door behind us"
Similar:
automaton
android
machine
golem
bot
droid- a machine capable of carrying out a complex series of actions automatically, especially one programmable by a computer.

Yes you proved me wrong Accountants must be licensed to trade in the same way as IFA's are. oh sorry they aren't are they?
Robots and assistive technology are already looking after people I added links and everything.

As for robots doing this kind of job, it's been the case for decades so do please try to keep up. I was working for British Gas in the early 90's and we were using this type of technology (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pigging)
Seems though that you're not smart enough to understand the difference between this type of activity, and the work required to care for sick and vulnerable individuals. Let's hope you or a loved one never needs this kind of 24/7 care, you'd never cope.
