Those robots can walk like humans.
Why it is not 'human' ?

When we talk about facts or general statements we always use plurals. Human is countable, so humans. I like dog, not 'I like a dog'

There's a missing word in this sentence that a native speaker hears even though it isn't there: "Those robots can walk like humans WALK".
You can say "human", but as a noun it requires an article like "a" or "the":
"Those robots can walk like a human (walks)"
"Those robots can walk like the human (walks)"
"Those robots can walk like the humans (walk)"
