Comment on A $20,000 humanoid that does chores is heading to US homes this year.

  You said non-humanoid is a broad description like it’s a negative. It’s not. Fixating on making the robot humanoid unnecessarily narrows it down. Form and function are by definition not the same, so I don’t understand what you mean by that. But I’m got going to stop because it seems.you’re intentionally obtuse.

    No, I said it like it’s a meaningless phrase.

    Fixating on making the robot humanoid unnecessarily narrows it down.

    Its not a fixation. Its simple logic that I’ve already explained. Everything we own is designed to be used by humans, so creating a humanoid robot makes them extremely versatile.

    Form and function are by definition not the same

    That’s not correct at all. Function is very largely tied to form, especially in the case of robotics.

      This is not the argument clinic.

        Then… don’t ask a question and argue with someone when they give a plausible answer, maybe?

        What does that even mean?
