Introduction

Humanoid robots are having a moment. Every major tech conference features new demos—robots walking, grasping, responding to voice commands, and navigating crowded spaces. The hardware is impressive and the AI is advancing rapidly, but what happens after the demo?

The answer to this matters because humanoid robots are not just AI systems; they are meant to be long‑lived, safety‑critical machines that operate continuously in human environments. Unfortunately, the gap between a compelling demonstration and a reliable production deployment is where many robotics programs stall.
