Actually this might be closer to the first real application to humanoid robots than thought: We might use them for telepresence, so as a sort of "suit" (just remotely controlled, not directly on your skin). Right now AI is pretty limited when it comes to doing chores. E.g. this is from the world robot summit 2018: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx3QdaPD8bw https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vx3QdaPD8bw So I doubt they will be useful in the pure AI form in the foreseeable future. However, for telepresence these would be ideal. Just imagine being able to fold the laundry while you are on the commuter train, coming home to folded laundry. Or you could delegate those chores entirely to people in a country with lower wages. Right now many foreign workers in that industry live away from their families. With such robots, they could be in their home countries.
