I'm not sure there's a big real-life connection between humanoid robots and AI, though we've often connected them in science fiction. My Amazon Echoes (with Alexa+) are usually within voice-reach for my Q&A needs (when I'm not in front of a computer or phone), though I guess AI could potentially help keep droids from falling over or running out of juice so often. :-)

The Chinese seem to be making inroads when it comes to humanoids and AI. From what I have read, they are hoping to use them in factories and also possibly as companions. They have not perfected anything yet.

I would not mind a android companion as long as it did not try to kill me. Jerry

If I am remembering correctly what I have read in the past, part of what China wants to use them for is companions to their growing elderly population.

I might not mind having a C3PO around, either, just so long as I could power it completely off so it wasn't always listening (or reporting my actions back to some supercomputer somewhere!).
