Always important to remember that a lot of these robots are “faking” the humanlike motions – its a property of how they’re trained not an inherent property of the hardware. They’re actually capable of way weirder stuff and way faster motions.

There’s better body plans for pretty much any specific task, but a lot of these companies are trying to make mass market robots for domestic chores. And a human body plan is the only one that everyone’s house is designed to work with.
(PS - Holy shit don’t buy in on the domestic chore robots, rule 1 of robotics is that any robot strong enough to do something useful is strong enough to maim you.)
