Serenity discussed the topic "Why Robots Must Be Humanoid", citing Elon Musk’s perspective as the core answer: "Robots don’t necessarily have to be humanoid, but general-purpose robots intended to replace human labor should adapt to the world environment already built by humans." The essence of this logic lies in the fact that doors, stairs, tools and spaces in the human world are all designed for the human body. A humanoid form for general-purpose robots enables them to seamlessly integrate with existing infrastructure, eliminating the need to reconstruct the environment for every new robot design. Serenity also explicitly expects Tesla’s humanoid robot project Optimus will eventually converge to the "correct form". The humanoid design of general-purpose robots is not an aesthetic choice, but an engineering rationality that maximizes environmental compatibility and task versatility.
