We interact with the world as humans, it stands to reason a general purpose humanoid robot would be capable of interacting in similar ways (or at least this should be the design goal). This immediately solves several issues. First, it gives us a baseline of understanding in terms of interactions and tasks. There’s no guessing how the device or interface should work. Second, it establishes general capabilities and limitations. There may be more efficient single purpose or limited designs for a subset of general tasks, but as a whole, a humanoid robot is the perfect general purpose approach.
Dude, humans are not perfect general purpose solutions. That’s why we use machines or animals.
Also, I don’t get what you’re saying ‘baseline understanding of interactions and tasks’?
To give examples of inefficiency - we have five fingers and surely one fewer makes no difference in capability, we have 2 legs whereas 4 will be more stable and faster, eyes can’t see in uv or ir.
There are some things that don’t really effect robots but shows poor design like complexity of nose and throat being a choking hazard :D.
Managing to be successful as a species is just evolutionary competence, which is a “random walk” through genetic changes that happened to create something better than others (not the best, just better than rest) for a larger set of environments

How are humans inefficient in design? We’ve managed to rule the planet with our design? Are you even human bro?!
😆 so hard to know on lemmy who’s human

What should the robots look like then?
It doesnt matter. This is the next step after Ai to get to dystopia. Cant stop the future.
Only way to stop dystopia is by taxing wealth, not work.
