The robot I am most personally impressed with is Agility Robotics Digit. It is a real human like form factor (small human not huge!). If I recall correctly it is an energy efficient walking system too.

This long continuous shot of walking from 2019 is nice too. They have improved their software a lot but the hardware was already in good shape.

Meanwhile Boston Dynamics is doing quite well.

Best path to success is Tesla buys Agility Robotics, revs the design for Digit to integrate the Tesla AI system, and spins up a manufacturing line. They could focus immediately on the high level AI problem rather than worrying about design. Could slap their AI system on digit while mechanical teams rev the new design so they get moving quickly.
Disclosure: I do not work for any of these companies or any related company. I am making a farming robot (see my profile).
