I think this is one of the areas the whole "AI revolution" is lacking.
"Cognition", vision and generally the sensor parts are pretty advanced by now, ex: all the latest GPTs and vision Apis. But the actuator parts of the equation are pretty much the same as years ago.
I think a large part of this is the old industry saying: "Software is cheap/easy, Hardware is expensive/hard", These days "robots" pretty much means a robot arm that is either a clunky pile of parts with an Arduino for the hobbyist market or a multi-thousand dollar industrial arm to move card boxes.
I also don't know if human movement is a well understood problem yet, everything I've seen until now looks pretty much a better version of movement from a 's sci-fi robot movie ( I'm not discounting the difficulty of this, just pointing out )
Maybe this is the calm before the storm, now it's all "chat bots" and it's mostly inside our computers, when humanoid robots start to roam the streets and affecting the physical World it will be another ball game.
The sensors are not advanced at all. Things like pressure and texture sensing along with positional feedback are still extremely primitive compared to what human hands are capable of.
This might be a little progress towards miniaturizing muscles but we’ve still got a long way to go on the whole package.
I'm not sure the angels necessarily need physical robotic bodies, or just have to have consequences of their direct actions fed back, to get grounded. They can search the Web already, and kind of able to close a long loop when additional training is done upon them using the data contaminated with searches they make.
