I haven't started a thread in over three years so this might take some getting used to.
Let's say we wanted a robot capable of working in areas usually filled with people. They need to use human hardware (Such as guns) and man human vehicles (Such as cars), but otherwise they can stuff in/remove as many features as they want.
What exactly would they look like? Would they be heavily armored, or skeletal in appearance? How human would they look? What would their head look like? I'd prefer to have real-life references, if possible.
Also, apparently FEDOR can fire guns, so maybe that's a good starting point?

I like digitigrade legs and opposable pinkies as well, but I don't think they're realistic yet.

Picture of FEDOR with Glocks.
This is something I feel should be responded more with satire than anything, but at the same time it's kind of fascinating.

Anon, form follows function - namely setting will decide its look
Is it a mass produced service bot? Chances are it'll be skeletal due to its disposability, maybe exposed wires and light durability armoring around vital parts
Is it a robotic bodyguard/law enforcement/neo yakuza/military weapon? Chances are it'd be bulked up in armor (unless disposable soldiers are the style, they'll likely have cheap human flak jackets or ballistic armor)
Are they friendly units, as in designed to not worry humans? If not made to look human, they'd likely be slim, low armor and curved
Consider reality - if you were trying to sell a service bot, would it look like your op picture while for a war bot, that look would be perfect. A good idea of a consumer bot is the ipadtastic irobot units, sleek high tech but 'soff' enough visually to not ruin the plot..at least until their color change...
