Russia’s first humanoid AI robot fell over seconds into its official unveiling, with staff hurriedly struggling to pull a curtain across the stage to hide the fallen machine.

To a certain degree, the ‘human’ form is indeed optimal for two legged motion.

Additionally, giving the robot features of a human-like face makes it easier for people to interact with them.
Not really. You run into the uncanny valley phenomenon if you make them too human like.
I think The Culture by Iain Banks has a good way for robots to show emotion. They use color instead. Make sure the colors are standard and it will work fine.
That’s why I wrote “features of a human-like face” (like Q3PO in Star Wars), not a look-alike copy with “skin” (like Data in Star Treck NG or the one in the article).
Hey, don’t you dare speaking bad about my childhood friend. Data is a treasure and I love him!
AND HE’S FULLY FUNCTIONAL!!! 😭
I like him either. For the lack of examples, he’s just the first example of an android with skin that came into my mind. Yet, despite he’s a robot, he’s probably too sympathic to trigger the uncanny valley phenomenon.
After thinking about that for a while, Zuck might have been the better example.
Yeah he creeps me out.
