The past decade has seen humanoid robot makers trying to make their creations more and more like humans.
Put bluntly, robotics companies arent afraid of getting weird with the contortions of their latest offerings.

These are, after all, robots made to look like humans.
Again, these contortions all seem a bit new.
But we seem to be on the cusp of a new era when it comes to robotics.
Most robot makers have achieved basic human-style walking and running.
We allowed AI to skip all the boring stuff and jump right ahead to making music and writing poetry.
It seems silly to think were building an army of butlers to serve humanity with that technology.
