Elonogy(@ElonogyX):Elon Musk: “Optimus is a general-purpose, sort of, worker droid. The initial roles for Optimus would be in work that is repetitive, boring, dangerous— Basically, work that people don't want to do unless they're paid to do it.” And Optimus has two legs/hands and 10 fingers because, “Humanity has designed the world to interact with a bipedal humanoid with two arms and ten fingers. So, if you want to have a robot fit in and be able to do things that humans can do, it must be of roughly the same size and shape and capability."
