What do you think is the most efficient form factor for robots across various sectors and how do you back up that claim. The humanoid design serves a purpose, but, in my mind, it’s mostly lazy design, some decent engineering, inefficient (some possibly using up to 40% of power just to maintain balance), and mostly a marketing ploy.

Consider the following fields:
Restaurants.
Hospitals.
Transportation.
Disaster response.
Farming.
Construction.
That’s just a few sectors.

What kinds of designs do you think will be the most durable over time?
