Yes, We Do Want Humanoid Robots

Several companies, including Boston Dynamics and Tesla, are working on creating useful humanoid robots to assist with household chores and provide aid to the elderly. The argument for humanoid robots is that our environment is designed for human-sized forms, making them more practical than wheeled or multi-legged robots. Additionally, imitation learning is easier with humanoid robots due to the abundance of data on human movements. Human-like robots could also minimize societal shock as they become more common.
