I really don’t understand how every fictional robot, no matter how minor or simple, is usually 100x better than the real ones, with ugly shapes and uncanny valleys all around.
Fictional ones don’t have to be cheap to manufacture in the real world. The weirdest things can add to costs when you have to take into account the constraints of injection molding and press-fit assemblies (and that’s just for the outer shell).

Fictional ones dosen’t need to actually work.
