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.

    Yes that's the whole point. They're forcibly thinking in humanoid forms, while I dont care about form, I care about function. Make shit that's useful, and I dont care what package it comes in. In the vast majority of use cases it's incredibly cumbersome to have it in bipedal form; you to have reserve cpu power/mechanics/power for balance and shit, while not at all necessary for the tasks at hand.

    'Fun' fact: the US company (Kyndryl) blocked from taking over the Dutch digital identity provider (for about 100 million euro) because it was deemed a security risk, still has Defence contracts with the Netherlands in excess of 2 billion euro (project GrIT).
