Where are the robots?

Back in 1939 the first robot science fiction story "robbie" was written by asimov. Well, 2009 was last year. Where are these robots of the science fiction saga? How come we do not see robots walking down the street or bringing humanity to ruin?

It is my feeling that our world has not had much progress. Witness there are no people living on the moon. It seems we are seeing a lot less advances and very little science.
