Given that it's a humanoid robot, I suspect that this is more of a marketing stunt than any practical deployment of robots.
Humanoid robots don't make a ton of sense in manufacturing. Why mimic the sub-optimal anatomy of a human when you can make your robotic work slave have any appendage you want, which are designed to be optinal for their task along the assembly line?
Humanoid robots mostly only make sense in spaces that need to be designed for humans (like homes or hospitals) where the robot needs to regularly interact with human infrastructure.
I guess the idea is that humanoid robots ideally require no adjustment to the factory, they can just use the tools made for human workers.
