Praveen,

While 2 legs is not the best way to get around (6 to 8 legs would obviously be better as can be seen in the insect/arachnid world), it makes sense that a household robot intended for use in a home designed for a human would look humanoid. A robot with wheels would have more trouble getting up and down stairs, over small bumps, through doorways, etc. Also, wheels are great for speed and stability, but not for maneuverability. A car can certainly out "run" a horse, but it can't trek through a thick forest or over rocks? Whether you believe in evolution or divine creation, there's a reason humans are bipedal.
