Humanoid robots are silly. To clean up something like Fukushima, a remote controlled backhoe makes sense.
Why do the evil robots in movies always have eyes that glow? That's a terrible optical concept. Like astronauts with lights inside their helmets.

You're full of yourself. You can't see further than the end of your nose, if that far.
Not enough Fukushimas, Chernobyls or TMIs to go around. Very limited market.
Agile robots would be useful in
- manufacturing
- assembly
- inspection
- quality control
- dangerous environments (gas leaks, radiation...)
- space travel
- health care
- banking
- sales
- airports
- travel
- restaurents
- teaching
- shopping
- house cleaning
- any activity that requires the flexibility and agility of humans
- sex

By all means, put lights inside your bicycle or motorcycle helmet visor. That's what movie stars do so it must be right.

That would be useful for cleaning up hazardous messes, like building collapses and fires and chemical things.
Actually, it's done.

I play the mouth organ, I like to think I'm pretty good. Then I hear players like Larry Adler and Brendan Power to name but two.
Same with these guys. Absolutely brilliant. Bastards.

You originally wanted a backhoe.
But you snipped my reply. I already included dangerous environments.

Sex? I've always preferred girls for that. Imagine a software update at inconvenient times. Or a hacker with a sense of humor. Or without. Imagine your sweet nothings murmured to a machine, posted online. Or explaining issues to a service tech.
This is cool:
It makes a lot of sense for some big machines to be remote controlled. Maybe fire trucks could take along a few little tank-tread hose things to go *inside* burning buildings.
None of those robots are humanoid. There's one dog-like thing, and it's the only one in the vid that seems to have no use.

Oh, of course JL never looks at people's faces. Avoids eye contact whenever he can.

These humans are brilliant. And spontaneous. These were not pieces picked from several takes... these were ALL impromptu.
Some people marry their sex dolls. I don't think any of them run Windows.

The dog can climb over boulders and rough terrain where the other robots cannot go.
Combine AI and agile robots and you will change the world.

You don't even need agile humanoid robots. These are already working:

Ugly, useless, toy.
As most human and animal-config robots are.

Stunning indeed. To those saying "humanoid robots are useless" I say "show me you can make one like these of Boston Dynamics and I may listen to your arguments".
The whole point at this stage is to learn how to make such robots, and the guys in Boston have managed to make their devices move and control their movements better than humans can, it would seem.
But then we are probably destined to evolve onto silicon, there is so much more of it than carbon on Earth :-).

I say, show me a use.
Why would someone go to a lot of effort to build something that is useless?
The real test will be to see if the people making humanoid robots can sell them and make money. So far they seem to be investor-money-sink toys.
