Thanks for sharing dude

I hear you on the humanoid in home thing. 

I want 2 things basically from robots:
- More ergonomic bot shapes/designs 
- A max peak grip/rotational strength below human bone strength thresholds

Honestly I want robots to be designed as calm technology:

"A calm technology will move easily from the periphery of our attention, to the center, and back. This is fundamentally encalming, for two reasons. First, by placing things in the periphery we are able to attune to many more things than we could if everything had to be at the center. Things in the periphery are attuned to by the large portion of our brains devoted to peripheral (sensory) processing. Thus the periphery is informing without
overburdening."

great article, and there also has to be an upper limit of calm things subtlety competing in our periphery, thus becoming overwhelming in their numbers
