Humanoid robots are largely inefficient. This is just another stupid AI-style rush to get money from stupid investors. If they were serious about actually evolving industries, they'd be making special-purpose mechanics and do away with the bipedal movement, which has no real benefits in almost any applications.

Mostly agree. They should make v1 have trends but the idea of something built like us is needed because then less alterations have to be made and it can fit with what's already around.

If you have a warehouse that uses ladders for some things easier to have a bot that can already handle that then something that needs further installation and such
