I don't understand the goal of being as limited as a human. Meaning creating a robot that can do anything a person can do, sure that's useful... but why force legs when it obviously slows movement? Why not a centaur like setup, but with a car body... or Segway like balancing 2 wheel (or 3?) base?
And why force any "vision" to be from eyes in the head? Why not have lots of cameras in the room and allow the processing to be done while it moves from A to B, deciding on the next move before it actually reaches the new start point.
And why 4 fingers + 1 thumb? Seems many types of gripping structures could be possible, and maybe more reliable for certain jobs. Like where you have 1 kind of bin/box, then you can use a specialized gripper/claw.
Anyway, I'm really good at polishing armor (for our new robot overlords). And I hope our politics + economics change to meet the dwindling need we have for human labor. Or I guess I hope I'm part of the "winners" (like everybody else does), and that we can quickly move on from the great dying or whatever they'll call this.
