Humanoid robots are publicity stunts. They are not well-designed for any task. Humans relate to them because they look like humans. That's it.

Robot-shaped robots have been doing factory work for much longer than 30 hours at a time for decades.

You don't need a humanoid robot to use computer vision to sort packages. Robots at mail sorting facilities have been doing that for decades too. The most effective way to sort a package is some sort of diverter that swings out diagonally across a conveyor belt, so the package falls off the side at that location, into a collection basket or onto another conveyor belt.

Also, this article is paid advertising.
