There were more than 600,000 household service robots in use worldwide in 2003, and more than 4 million new units should join them over the next three years, according to a study released Wednesday by the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe.

The report also said global sales of multipurpose industrial robots rose 19 percent last year to 81,800 units and orders for industrial robots in the first half of this year jumped 18 percent to a record level.
