The robot's shape depends on what it is used for. Whether it is moving a block of wood, or driving down a surface. Each robot is designed for a specific purpose.
The container determines the shape.
A body's shape determines the work done on its medium when it displaces the latter. When a shape lets the medium flow smoothly the body can go further at a speed. The best shape is slender and smooth with tips aimed along the axis of motion so that the medium displaces sideways the least.

Gas doesn't have a shape or volume of itself. Gas will take the internal shape and volume of whatever container you put it in.
The density of the object or the shape of the object (like a boat) determines the buoyant force.
The container determines the shape.
The gene sequence determines the codon, which in turn determines the aminoacid, which in turn determines the tridimensional shape on the protein, which in turn determines the shape of the active site, which in turn determines what it'll be catalysing.

His stories helped shape society's ideas about the limitations of robots.
A crystal is a mineral where all of the atoms are in a row, this is what makes it kind of clear. What determines its shape is the amount of space it has to form in and will usually have triangular pyramidal edges.
