LG group uses it naturally for spying from data aggregated in home appliances. The rationale is fluff.

A humanoid robot would demand continuous maintenance, especially after planned obsolescence kicks in. No robot has ever worked under dirt conditions.

why not hyundai (given the existing boston dynamics ownership)?

I can't wait to see the day I have to listen to the ad pitch of my robot butler before it goes make me a coffee.

And you'll better start to practice worshipping those ads unless your ass wants to be the star in B-166ER's last home video.

There is no good reason to have a humanoid robot. None. Dishwashers do best in a dishwasher shape.

Depends on what your definition of "good" is.

If your definition is "it could, at some point, enable me to stop paying humans for their labor and pass along more of the value to major shareholders like myself", then yes, that's a reason to want humanoid robots.

If your definition of "good" is a little more broadly scoped than the above - which it should be if you don't have an MBA and a substance abuse problem - then you're correct.

I'd love the robot to fill and empty the dishwasher and put the stuff in the correct drawers and cabinets

edit: but if the robot could in addition also do dishes in the sink and not need a dishwasher at all, that'd also save up space in the kitchen for something else

Dishwashers also cannot work without a human loading and unloading dishes. How do you propose to automate this part?
