Is it common living with robot in Japan?

In my opinion, not so common yet, but it might be.
(We’re already lived with robot cleaners like Roomba, but in this article, robots means more “living” something.)
Most of Japanese have good images for robots, because of some famous animations, Doraemon, Astro boy, etc…
For us, robot is a friend since we were child.

By the way, You can see Gundam in Odaiba Tokyo!
I’ve seen it several times, it’s so big and cool!!
