Why Today's Humanoids Won't Learn Dexterity

Humanoid robots are not yet capable of human-like dexterity despite significant investments.
Dexterity in robots requires rich touch and force sensing, which current systems lack.
End-to-end learning has succeeded in speech, image labeling, and language models but relies on domain-specific preprocessing.
Current humanoid robots are unsafe for humans to be near due to their rigid, high-energy walking mechanisms.
Future humanoid robots will likely have varied forms (e.g., wheeled bases, multiple arms) but still be called 'humanoid.'
