Part 2/9:
Humanoid robots are designed to mimic the human form for a variety of pragmatic reasons. Evolution has equipped humans with a form factor that allows for dexterity and mobility. These design capabilities enable robots to navigate environments crafted for human use, facilitating tasks in our daily lives. While specialized robots have their place—like those in factory settings where tasks are repetitive and don't require adaptability—the broader vision for humanoid robots is to eventually replace humans in their everyday activities. This means tasks that range from household chores to customer service will become increasingly automated.
