It seems humanoid robots are the desirable execution for many people. Not me. I prefer robots like our Roomba.
Living with a humanoid robot seems creepy to me. I expect it will be given a personality and other human characteristics. It will be a creature that I don't want to establish a relationship with. On the other hand, it will act as if it is a friend or family to serve me. I'm sure it will observe and make a record of my requests and actions. I'm sure it will remember personal and confidential information. And I won't know who else is accessing that data and information. This is one reason I won't buy new cars that have extensive software or subscription services. I'm sure every bit of data is being used by the manufacturer or provider.
The Roomba has no personality or human characteristics. It doesn't interact with me. Roomba just does it job when I press a button since I don't schedule it to clean. And it's easy to maintain. I order a new battery every 2 years and replace some parts periodically. No relationship expected.
Similarly, our dishwasher and washing machine are able to modify how they clean by detecting levels of "dirt." Otherwise, it just does it's job and doesn't require personal interaction from me other than adding detergent, choosing a cycle and pressing a button.
It will be interesting to see where the robot design ends up in a few years.
