Bipedalism is great to evolve on uneven terrain. Here it seems to just slow the process. Also, it uses its second hand for balance instead of achieving work, a counter weight would be as effective. In a factory, where the floor is flat, a human sized self moving robot 2 or 3 wheels would be way more effective, longer arms with more joins that are not mimicking humans one could also be better. There is already a lot of automation/robots in industry and it never look like a human. Even in our houses the best approach to automation never look like a human (eg. vacuum cleaner). I think that the only part of our body that would worth copying is the hand.

Humans are precariously tall. Good for spotting threats but not for navigating terrain. Four legs are better, with a lower center of gravity. Look at mountain goats for example.
