Humanoid robots, in many ways, don’t make a lot of sense. For almost every conceivable application, using humans instead gives better results – except, of course, in cases where it would be abusive to use humans, in which case there are other kinds of concern about why you’re even doing that thing, and whether you should be doing it to something that closely resembles a human.

Be that as it may, the idea of humanoid robots is a powerful one, and there are people working to produce them – hoping, perhaps, to learn more about humanity in the process?
