Humanoid robots won't be feasible while we're still tethered to existing Li-ion battery technology. The two advancements in robotics in recent years, Boston Dynamics' Atlas and Spot, have battery lives of 60 minutes and 90 minutes respectively. With a recharge requiring multiple hours, unless these things are tethered or we invent some kind of electrified floor tech, they are too niche and uneconomical, sadly.

Imagine if the robot was capable of swapping its own batteries for charged ones.
