Robotics

Exists.

Not what we typically think of as robotics, but power armour and mechs are certainly an area of Research & Development.
Martian military contractors are working on both.

Ubiquity

Common on Earth, Uncommon in The Belt, and Rare on Mars (due to the networking lockdown).

Intelligence

Often describe as a "Virtual Intelligence" rather than an Artificial Intelligence. Robots often have access to large datasets, and can be described as smart, but not thinking.
Human-facing robots will often have a display and/or speaker for communication.

Power Source

Let's not worry about that and just say there are both free-standing and tethered robots.

Aesthetics/Form Factors

The visual aesthetics of robots runs a wide gamut, depending on age and whether meant for in-home use, client-facing commercial, or factory use.

They are rarely humanoid except in particularly specialized use-cases. 

Public-facing robots tend to be maintained to look sleeker or cute, including robots used in retail settings. They have a corp-branded shiny shell.
Factory and behind-the-scenes use are often less maintained though they may have started off nice and shiny originally.

Older models may also be less shiny and look more like a tractor or power tool.

Here are some examples from Jalan Perez who captures robots with personality well.
