robots have existed for more than 20 years though. Boston Dynamic's dog is 22 years old, Atlas 15-ish

What can I as a normal person use these robots for?
Nothing. They were designed for the military.
And what do the military use them for?
Supposedly as a sort of extremely expensive but basically tireless mule.
Computers also existed for more than 20 years before they started being sold to end-users.

And again, the robots market will probably not evolve anything near as fast as the computers.
