It depends how you define "robot"

Every day we interact with computers, telephones and cars that are designed to change their programming to customize their performance based off of you. The simple fact that you are reading this answer has altered your computer to do something different than it has done before. Your cell phone changes to alter you of a caller in a different way than another person. Your television can record programs becasue you tell it to, even when you arent in the room.

All of these are forms of robotics, and henceforth are robots we interact with every day, without realizing it. Almost anything that runs off of a battery, a plug, or any other electrical source can be defined as robotics, with some exceptions. Just take a step back and realize how many cars you interact with, how many ATM's, cell phones, iPods, video game counsels, televisions, ect. They are all robots.

But if you define robot as a walking talking cyborg man who thinks for himself and can process information on its own without any preprogrammed imformation, then very few unless you are a gazillionaire, live in the Jetsons, iRobot or Star Wars, or haven't quite gotten the concept of reality yet.
