The main use of humanoid robots is to work in environments suitable for humans (think inspecting a dam or such, climbing ladders and everything), as well as flexibility, especially when it comes to low-frequency tasks. BMW makes a lot of different models with tons of different options, their production line isn't really a line it's a directed graph.
