A robot doesn't get tired.

Yeah, yeah sexbots.
I think making bipedal robots is more a public relations/advertising type endeavor. Look, we can make things that are like humans. But there are tens of millions of robots working in factories around the world and very few look anything like a human being. Its just not a very useful form, its unnecessarily complicated for 99% of the tasks we might want a robot for.
