I don’t understand these companies’ obsession with humanoid robots. A robot doesn’t have to humanoid to be a useful household helper. It doesn’t even have to be humanoid for people to form a friendly bond with it (something I think would be a good quality in a “household helper”) just look at Star Wars droids

A humanoid robot can operate in the existing world. It can climb stairs and open a door, for example. A robot on wheels without arms can't do that.
