    If you want realistic humanoids look at the Japanese sex industry.

    This article is all “China bad” while neglecting to realize Amazon is aiming at replacing workers with humanoid robots too.

    Hypocrites.

      Humanoid robots are awfully expensive to maintain and a silly idea for factories. The team of robot experts you’d need to run this operation would cost much more in the end. You‘d be better off just building fully automated factories that use conveyor belts and wheeled robots. In other words, this is just Amazon propaganda to discourage unions and keep wages low. Robots are not on the way to replace us but rich fucks have every reason to make us believe so.
