>Yet a robot is any machine that can perform a complicated series of tasks automatically, and robots can take many forms—such as robot arms in factories, self-driving cars, or military drones—so what are the advantages of a humanoid? Humanoid robots are a glittering prize for two reasons, which together promise a mutually reinforcing spiral. One is the huge potential market for robots that can use our human tools and function in our human environments.

Can someone explain to me, aside from a pure marketing perspective. What are the benefits of a humanoid robot?
They are often staffed by immigrant workers, and this may even be more difficult to fill under the current administration. many nurses and medical assistance, experience back pain and other injuries from moving patients as well. Another potential benefit is that it might allow older adults to stay at home longer because now they can have their own personal 24/7 assistant to help them move and eat, thus substantially reducing the need for going to a nursing home in the first place.
There’s a lot of talk about population collapse in developed countries, and while that is a very serious concern on many levels, there is a potential that these humanoid robots can help fill some important gaps in at risk fields like healthcare.

We already have drones and robo dogs with arms, next up humanoids that are perfectly suited for all the human shaped spaces in the world.
The exact same model can be used on a multitude of job sites, seamlessly move and operate in all our environments without specialized modifications needed.

Don’t worry! Humanity is fixing that problem for them.

I think this will be particularly valuable in healthcare, especially in nursing homes. They have been experiencing a significant labor shortage in part due to low salaries and the difficult working conditions; approximately greater than 90% of nursing homes have open positions that remain unfilled. The estimated is over 130,000 staff needed . https://www.ahcancal.org/News-and-Communications/Press-Releases/Pages/State-Of-The-Sector-Nursing-Home-Staffing-Shortages-Persist-Despite-Unprecedented-Efforts-To-Attract-More-Staff-.aspx
