Looking at what some popular humanoid robots could do, we can see the progress in this field is quite impressive. I supposed Sophia (social robot) can be used as a benchmark in this case (robotic science).. and she even obtained her citizenship lately.. i am sure more to come in the future

… Some directions for future research in multisensor fusion and integration target microsensors and adaptive fusion … The overview of this paper may be of interest to researchers and engineers attempting to study the rapidly evolving field of multisensor fusion and integration.
The aim of human-robot interaction is friendly Kismet can produce a set of facial expressions.
Robots "smart agents" with the cognitive and work capabilities of the physical world that researchers often provide and get from the work space have been mainstreamed into factories but at present they tend to be present in more technologically advanced societies. Vital areas: search and rescue, military battles, mines, bomb detection, scientific exploration, law enforcement, recreation and health care in hospitals.
These new areas of applications involve user interaction. In the concept of "convergence" which is in its integrated sense, robots and humans share the workspace and also share the goals to achieve the task. This close interaction requires new theoretical models of robots by scientists working to improve robots and their tools, and on the other hand to assess the risks and benefits of this new "friend" of our modern society
