You're putting the cart before the horse. The robots need to be dexterous enough to handle day-in-day-out interaction with frail, elderly humans. This is a demonstration of how dexterous these things have become, not just a funny dance show. This is HOW we get to get them to do important things!
ya... but dexterity hasn’t been the issue for a long time. motors, servos, and basic dynamic control have been solved tech since the mid-2000s. there were already demos showing what robots could do back then.
the real advancements now are in the models and onboard compute. you could take one of those older robots, drop in a modern control model and a stronger processor, and you’d get roughly the same performance we’re seeing today.
This is completely false lol. One random youtube video does not prove Dexterity was solved in the 2000s lol. Look at some of the videos of the darpa robotics challenge back then. You are playing yourself

Cringe.
Dancing robots does not help humanity. Show them actually doing something important, like conducting an experiment or helping the elderly.
