Having a robot that resembles a human to, say, clean under my bed, would feel weirdly slave ownerish to me.

    All shapes and sizes, but the smaller and more efficient the better.

    Humanoid robots are stupid and wasteful.

    I feel like all shapes and sizes are good. That also includes the potential of humanoid shapes if needed. The design should be based off what it's meant to do. Humanoid like shapes would be best for things that are involving human interaction, and something that needs a diverse amount of tasks, but those types of shapes would also be the hardest to do and the most expensive. It would make sense to minimize cost and complexity as long as it isn't making a compromise elsewhere.

    I'd prefer all shapes and sizes, and even if some of them are humanoid I wouldn't want them to look more humanoid than say C3PO. For multiple reasons I wouldn't want them realistic enough to fool any part of my brain into thinking they are human.

    All shapes and sizes, especially if they are specialized to do specific tasks. A humanoid robot won’t be practical for a lot of tasks.

    I'm cool wothbsizes and shapes. we aren't even a superior design

    I'd like them to be utilitarian, optimized for the tasks they are made to perform. And simple, as in easily fixable by the owner (right to repair).

    as a hardware tech, all shapes and sizes human shapes have obvious limitations like how do I fit this industrial motor into an hourglass waist
