makes sence of the hands I suppose
but why not give them more armes for example and the head, i assume is contains a camera and it's in a good place for that but making it head shaped? It's just pointless anthropomorphism.

For someone who can spell 'anthropomorphism'
you didn't half fuck the rest of that post up.

Two ideas here
1: The robot is working alongside humans, and being controlled by them. It makes sense that the operator senses what the robot senses in a human way. If the robot bangs its knee for example, the operator would detect a banged knee. without having to think, what was that.

2: For the robot, it is working in a human environment, and needs to be able to get at the same things a human can. No use having 3 metre arms or be as big as a brief case, as the situation should not exist where it faces problems a human would not be able to solve too.
