In Our Own Image: Do We Need Humanoid Robots? | Hackaday
Science fiction is full of things you don’t want to think too hard about. Why do starships with transporters have brigs with forcefields? Why not just beam a prisoner into an enclosed space? Why do Cylons fly ships with human controls?
No one is going to confuse a robot factory arm or a Roomba with a person, yet they are perfectly suited for their purpose. Yet we are fascinated with human-looking robots and continue to build them, like Nadia from IHMC Robotics in the video below.

Mars Rover Opportunity Documentary Shows the Special Bond Between Humans and Robots
The Amazon documentary "Good Night Oppy," which debuts November 4, is a tribute to the Mars rover Opportunity . What was supposed to be only a 90-day mission turned into an incredible odyssey as the rover kept going far past its expiration date.
Opportunity needed a steady source of sunlight to keep its heaters on. The storm and the 10-day darkness it caused exposed the delicate electronics to the bone-snapping cold of the harsh Martian surface. Once the dust had cleared, Opportunity wouldn't answer NASA's calls. On Feb.

Rise of delivery robots leaves drivers fearful of job losses | The Japan Times
British shoppers looked on with surprise and delight as a supermarket worker casually handed over groceries to the newest members of the team — delivery robots.
“Where are you going?” one passer-by asked a white robot, resembling a small fridge on wheels. Another person stopped to wave it goodbye as it rolled off to drop an order to a customer’s door in the central English town of Bedford.
