Also interesting to reflect on Asimov’s justification for humanoid robotics: that androids would make great space explorers because they’d have to modify alien environments in human friendly ways. Some version of that might be true.

Perhaps a generic repair-capable intelligence would have AI/robotics all in the spirit of “opposable thumbs”. Speaking of which there was a management book called “opposable mind” which I haven’t read that might have interesting ideas here
