While they are slow and dont work well, their cost / output is already on human parity. The Figure 3 test runs are proving that humanoid robots are already good enough for isolated repetitive tasks (factory work).

Rotating boxes and finding barcodes is hardly revolutionary in the automation space.
The biggest benefit of humanoid robots may be that the machines are generally safer to be around than giant built-for-purpose machines, and that they can navigate the same buildings that their operators navigate (e.g. stairs), otherwise humanoid robots are generally an automation gimmick (for now). Just put a mechanical arm next to the conveyor belt.
