Quotes:
Tesla has completely overhauled its humanoid robot. The Optimus Gen 2
is 10 kg (22 lb) lighter, 30% faster, a lot smoother and more capable,
and it looks much more human in the way it moves. It's also got new
hands and feet, and some of Elon's style.

The Gen 2 bot gets two degrees of freedom in its neck, integrated
electronics and wiring, and a more human foot shape with articulated
toe sections and force/torque sensors. It also gets brand new hands,
with 11 degrees of movement freedom, faster actuators, and tactile
sensors on all its fingers to enable more deft manipulation of
objects.
