Humanoid? Probably close to $0. I want a useful robot that can be task specific, not confined to one form.

Edit: So, OP asks a question about a personal opinion...I give my opinion...people shit on me and downvote. Reddit has such awesome "communities" 🙄

Our world is made with the human form in mind.

So, unless you want to have hundreds of robots at home, one for each specific task, probably the human form is the best you can get.

Plenty of non-humanoid shapes would fit perfectly in our everyday lives. A sphere with tentacles could drive a car. Just seems pointless to limit ourselves to such a degree. The form should fit the function, not the other way around.

Wouldn't a task specific robot, be confined to one form?

Plenty of ways to shift forms so as the tasks change so does the robot. A tentacle with short phalanges could be more useful in more situations that a simple thumb.
