Context: From Brooks's dated predictions table first published 1 Jan 2018 ("My Dated Predictions"). NET = "no earlier than" (correct if it has not happened before that year); BY = "by that year". The item: a robot that carries a package from a vehicle into a house and puts it inside the front door.
