    Why do robots need to be humanoid again? We’ve had robots and automated machinery be extremely successful for decades by being purpose-built for specific tasks.

      Because our world is designed for humans. If you want a generally functional robot in your house, the best design is to mimic the human body.

      It’s Toyota they’re copying no? They’ve been making robots for decades
