Said Japan Airlines, quoted in "This could really take off: robots join staff at Tokyo airport/Japan Airlines, the national carrier, is testing humanoid workers to ease staffing pressures at Haneda, keeping luggage moving as passenger numbers rise" (London Times).
Would you prefer the infusion of robots to come in humanoid form? The human-shaped robots fit into the places that have been designed for human beings, so perhaps that makes the robotic takeover easier and don't you want futuristic things to subtly mix friendliness and creepiness?

"Old"? Total Recall isn't old! Why, it just came out in... oh wait. Never mind. Still love the scene at the end where Arnold's eyes are popping out. But was it all just a fake memory?
I won't be satisfied until the automated cabs fly.
"What about the girl? Brunette, athletic, sleazy and demure just as you specified"
Turns out, I’m human shaped!
As long as they are obviously not human, like C3PO
How’d they know FUJI FILM would still be around in the digital future to put it on an electronic billboard?
Archived here, Anthro-san.
It only makes sense to try to make human-shaped, human-size robots. But I never wanted to talk to a can driver in the first place, so I'm good with the empty driver's seat.
Does anyone know offhand whether a Waymo is designed to be ABLE to be driven by a human if it's FAD system fails? Because if not, then there's no reason to keep that form factor.
Asimov identified this as a reason robots would be humanoid back in the 50's. For years it looked like he got it wrong, but now it looks like he maybe got it right.
@Jamie, according to Gemini until about 2022 it was a Federal requirement that autonomous vehicles maintain manual controls, and it could be that some states still do so it doesn't appear that a standard driver position is installed as a backup for the FAD.
Once they get enought robot workers they'll have to find other excuse to import millions of immigrants. Wonder what it will be? Of course, many of the "Migrants" today go directly onto welfare rolls and Goverment jobs.
I suppose human robots look more friendly and non-threatening.
I saw a video recently of a humanoid robot emptying a dishwasher. Apparently that particular chore is a toughie for robots, and the robot unfortunately looked very much like what a severely disabled person would look like performing the same task. I found it unsettling. A natural human impulse would be either to get up off the couch and help the robot, or perhaps to find some other activity for it to do that wouldn't be such a struggle. My conclusion: decent humans aren't going to feel comfortable watching humanoid robots performing menial tasks for them unless they can do them very well and appear happy doing them. Think 3CPO, for example. If the programmed work is gross, unpleasant, frightening, etc., don't make the robots humanoid.
Empty
Empty is good. But then my Tesla drives me 97ish percent of the time already.

RoboCan is the evolution of IT.

Lookup "uncanny valley". The term was coined in 1970 by Japanese roboticist Masahiro Mori.
I'll take something like HAL but without the murderous tendencies.
Oddly enough, when I clicked on this blog post, I got a pre-emptive screen from Google: ..."Our systems have detected unusual traffic from your computer network. This page checks to see if it's really you sending the requests, and not a robot...." I had to check a box before it would let me proceed to here. Is there a robot that could do that for me?
The ONLY value of a humanoid form is to interface with unavoidable human systems and objects (to include the routine tech cutting edge topic of sex work). The human form comes at the cost of being constrained by the human form, and this is terrible for specialized tasks. Tools with a simple purpose or special purpose (flying, water, welding car bodies, controlling a vehicle) likely never make sense as human shaped.
Robotic cab drivers are derivative and "skeuomorphic" -- much like early software interfaces that resembled wood, metal, or file cabinets. See Microsoft's massive failure with "Bob" in 1995. They may make first-time users feel comfortable, but people get used to round robotic vacuums and box-shaped room service robotic delivery wagons.

"Human-shaped" means what? Two arms, maybe two legs, a chest or thorax, and a head? You can have a lot of machines like that that you wouldn't mistake for a human being. It does make sense, because the "human shape" can give you an idea of what the robots are doing and can do. If you just have a lot of moving claws, it's harder to know what they're doing and easier to get accidentally killed by them. You can't combine people not informed and not paying attention with serious industrial machines without somebody getting killed.
“ "By combining cutting-edge AI technology with the unique flexibility of humanoid forms, the project aims to realise a sustainable operational structure through labour savings and workload reduction."
The semantic content of that statement is close to zero.
This subject has been thoroughly covered in the literature, C3PO was not lovable at all but R2D2 was drooled over by all the girls. Probably because he had the telescopic tool with the ball on the end of it that he could stick out.
In conclusion humanoid robots are pedantic and not as smart as track mounted tubular forms.
