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.
Sure but if you have brand new machines that are supposed to be operated by humans, buying a 10k humanoid compared to paying some real humans is going to appeal a lot of entrepreneurs: and you’ll be able to mix the two kinds of workers initially, see Amazon warehouses as an example.

I guess the idea is that humanoid robots ideally require no adjustment to the factory, they can just use the tools made for human workers.

Now your speaking my language.
Can it empty my dishwasher?
From what I’ve seen on other “advanced” humanoid robots, it probably could, using 4-10 times as much time as you would yourself, and breaking a few pieces in the process.
The fact that nearly every scene in that video is a 2 second edit suggests that if these are really being used in a factory they are doing none of the things shown in the video IRL.
I wanna see this guy 1v1 boston dynamics and that humanoid Tesla bot
A kind of benchmark or drag race for robot? Let’s organise a decathlon: Fight, chess, sports, killing top ranking useless humans, etc…
No, cage fights against each other
Contestants must run through these brick walls, swim through the magma pool, climb the 50’ smooth steel wall, and jump the chasm before smashing the watermelon at the end! Only the top 8 killbots will move on to the next round.
$1 humanoid robots?? I’d buy that for a dollar!
I cannot tell if this is legitimate or some potemkin-esque concept design for a factory
