This matters because robots like Optimus are waiting for them.
That said, a hand is not necessarily the best tool for task execution and confirmation. I agree that humanoid++ is probably a pretty good way to move around, but disagree on hands.
I think we will se robots with more like 4 hands/arms.

I agree that we’d see super bots with multi hands and whatever, but hands are extremely important if the purpose of such humanoids is to replace human. The way it has been done thus far is to do things within its limits. Human hands have 27 degrees of freedom, it allows us to do the things we carry out in day to day life and our tools are optimized to use those degree of freedom. Tesla v3 bots has 22 degrees of freedom. Not quite human yet, but the idea is that it could use many of the tools or stuff in our life that we use without thinking.
It sounds very simple. But how to coordinate all the actuators in place to perform just the right amount of movement is something every bot company faces.
We have long developed superhuman level of machineries to do specific job that’s optimized in shape, form and function. But for something to replace human hands on all the fine tasks we do day to day, the easiest way is just to get as close to human as possible. We have engineered our environment and tools for human to use. Anything that don’t replicate human might excel in some tasks, but completely suck in all other.
