Why humanoid robots won't catch up to human workers any time soon

Humanoid robots have shown rapid progress with demonstrations like robotic bartending, synchronized dances, and even a fast 100-meter run, but experts say such feats do not translate into reliable, broad-capability workers. The biggest hurdles are manipulation of real-world objects, generalization across varied tasks, and the ability to carry out long, multi-step projects, with many performances relying on teleoperation rather than autonomous control. Experts warn that solving these challenges for safe, affordable, real-world deployment will take many years, if not decades.
