Bipedal, hips, knees, feet. Looks humanoid to me.

If cloudflare puts this in a grid of images and asks me to pick the humanoids, I’m clicking it

yea people will look for any reason to disagree. It's right in the article.

I think of "humanoid" as a machine capable of operating in the same complex physical environment as humans do. For instance, it is generally more comfortable for a healthy adult human to use a steep staircase than a steep ramp. So a "humanoid" robot would be capable of using the same staircase instead of requiring a ramp to be purpose-built just for it.

it is of humanoid shape
