Optimus's First Job is Plugging Guns: The Main Battlefield of Humanoid Robots Has Never Been in Factories
Optimus的第一份工作是插枪：人形机器人的主战场，从来不在工厂
This article analyzes the application trends of humanoid robots in the service industry, pointing out that their main battlefield is not in factories, but rather in mobile tasks such as plugging guns, shopping guidance, and patrols. Through historical cases and industry data, the article explains that robots struggle to replace humans in standardized scenarios, but have already demonstrated practical value in fault-tolerant service tasks.
The article explains the current trajectory of humanoid robots, emphasizing their role in service industries rather than manufacturing. It highlights the technical and economic rationale for this shift, including the limitations of standardization in factories and the demand for flexible, mobile tasks in service environments.
