Exciting and scary! We live in the time where this if finally a real thing after almost a century of discussion of humanoid robots. I wonder when / if this will become a real commercial thing.

For me the exciting part died out with the understanding of how locomotion actually works. Now it's almost a solved problem, only requiring some hardware advantages and a lot of (excruciatingly boring) man-hours to implement.

So I'm only left with the scary part. This will hit the streets in less than 5 years. Things are going the exact opposite direction of where they should be for the deployment of such robots to be beneficial to the masses. I don't like this, and I'm not alone.

Just going to toss that out with no explanation?
