The intelligence gap means we’re still a long way off from practical humanoids. We also need to work on improving energy efficiency, battery life, and sensing technologies.

For the time being, I don’t think people need to worry about robots replacing them at work unless they work very simple jobs. The best solution is to get an education and put your brains – that which robots can’t replicate (yet) – to work.
