> Why are people still putting so much effort into making humanoid robots? You might not believe it, but as someone in the field myself, most of the time it is because both investors AND senior management are the old generation (call them boomers/genX if you like) and those prefer to see things that resemble what they watched on scifi movies back in the day, so many cases I witnessed where we bring a better UGV design, reliable, and efficient, then it gets turned down in favor of another UGV that looks like Johnny 5 with eyes (aka PTZ camera) on top, “yeah!! This looks cooler!!” And it gets approved..
