"A humanoid robot or an anthropomorphic robot is a robot with its overall appearance, based on that of the human body, allowing interaction with made-for-human tools or environments."
Notice how hard it is to find trust worthy maids. Its either they steal, dont do anything when the boss is not around and sometimes ends up knocked up after few months in the city. That's why if i'm going to have my personal humanoid robot a "housemaid" would be nice.. It could help my mom do chores around the house like cooking, cleaning, laundry(hopefully she is water proof by then) In addition home nursing skills can come in handy so that she could take care of us when were sick.It should also be physically better than me,can lift heavy equipments , extends its arms and legs to reach high places and has better senses to predict the unpredictable. But the most important thing is that it could connect to human beings to allow the heart of man to be comfortable with it.
"Future of Humanoid Robots - What's Next?
In retrospect the mechanical engineering challenge was the "low hanging fruit". Looking to the future challenge of humanoid robots, the ultimate holy grail is a truly self contained and self aware Artificial Intelligence (AI) or more accurately Artificial Consciousness (AC), that is capable of taking control and articulating the mechanical construct of the humanoid robot."
WHEN SHOULD WE DRAW THE LINE?
The world's population of real humans continues to steadily grow. One might ask why we would want to make a machine that looks, thinks and emotes like a human when we have plenty of humans already, many of whom do not have jobs or good places to live. It is important to re-emphasize that humanoids cannot and will not ever replace humans. I admit that humanoids could be useful and maybe truly realiable but i think its too much that we also want them to have emotions and do stuff that we can already do.
