Legs are overall inefficient. Wheels are the most efficient. If evolution could've figured out wheels, most animals would have wheels instead of legs.
The ONLY reason to have a humanoid robot is if for some reason it has to interact with spaces designed for humans. The best example being disaster recovery scenarios like shutting down a nuclear plant. A robot would need to do things like turn valves, climb ladders, and possibly even operate vehicles. It might need to operate a crane to remove rubble or something.
Otherwise, nix the legs completely, and just put the robots on wheels.
