I thought the term "humanoid" referred to bipedal aliens with bilateral symmetry. Or to human-like robots.

"Humanoid" refers to anything with a human body morphology (i.e., bipedal, two legs, two arms, head). That can be actual humans, human-looking robots, bipedal aliens with bilateral symmetry, or even Barbie dolls I suppose.
