I know this may sound rather strange, but kiwi may actually be the best answer for this set of requirements, and will bring a bit of cool factor as well.

upper elements wise it will have a humoniod type of structure with a head,shoulders, and arms so leaning toward precision. right now our dimensions are looking to be 34'' by 40'' and about 7-9 feet tall (the upper portion will be very light consisting of mostly sheet metal, so it will be very bottom heavy)

Honestly, i'd shoot for plastic rather than sheet metal if you man manage it. Not only is it lighter, but it's friendlier/less intimidating. For all the negative things that Douglas Adams had to say about Sirius Cybernetics, I have to admit that "Your plastic pal who's fun to play with" sounds a whole lot better than "Your sheet metal pal who's fun to play with".
