Given that it's a humanoid robot, I suspect that this is more of a marketing stunt than any practical deployment of robots.

Humanoid robots don't make a ton of sense in manufacturing. Why mimic the sub-optimal anatomy of a human when you can make your robotic work slave have any appendage you want, which are designed to be optinal for their task along the assembly line?

Humanoid robots mostly only make sense in spaces that need to be designed for humans (like homes or hospitals) where the robot needs to regularly interact with human infrastructure.

What is the point in a humanoid form factor robot that you can’t have sex with?

Car factories have had robots for decades. Is there even any practical use for humanoid robots there?

This is how the Terminator starts. Bet it will get pissed at its human overlords and build an android army to destroy us all.
