The dog robot was objectively better than the humanoid robot back when the humanoid robot couldn't walk unless the floor was completely smooth. The humanoid robots can walk now, and they can do an increasing number of tasks in a work space designed for humans without needing hardware additions.
The dogs still win out in terms of speed and agility for the moment, but working in a power plant I think if the situation calls for speed and agility it's time for the human supervisors to step in.
