I'd rather have specialized robots that do a particular thing well, rather than some crappy humanoid robot that can't do anything well. Being humanoid shaped just limits them to being worse than humans at human things.

I already have a dish washing robot. And one that washes and dries my clothes. Can you imagine if you had a humanoid robot that was in your laundry room scrubbing your clothes manually in a tub and then taking them out and hanging them up on clothes lines? That is what you get with humanoid robots.

Would you rather have a tiny vacuum that parks itself in the corner and disappears, or some 6 foot tall thing with arms and legs pushing your Hoover around all day?
