Despite billions of dollars in investment and rapid AI advances, humanoid robots continue to fail at basic physical tasks like opening doors, climbing stairs, and manipulating everyday objects — with benchmark success rates as low as 0% on precision tasks. A growing body of research suggests the core bottleneck is physical, not cognitive: the gap between simulation and reality, the limitations of robotic hands, and the sheer complexity of the physical world remain unsolved problems that no amount of AI scaling can overcome alone.
