  Cool! Does anyone have a list of challenges that must be tackled before such humanoid robots become usable for tasks such as household chores, cooking etc?

  So between AI and robots that can do this, humans are basically done right? I am going to bed.

  Very impressive! I’ve not seen this configuration before.

  What are the advantages to this compared to something more stable like 3 or 4 wheels that can’t just fall over?

    Close enough to a humanoid then you can move to places that humans can move to / around.
