.@Xynovaofficial_ is one of the top rising players in China’s dexterous hand and humanoid robot components space, based in Hangzhou • They develop not only the hands but also all core components (linear actuators, motors, etc) and algorithms fully in-house • They use a hybrid drive system, combining tendon-driven and direct-drive methods • One of the most exciting features is wrist control and finger abduction/adduction, delivering much more natural hand and arm dexterity • They prevent the hand from overheating by placing one of the actuators in the arm (below the palm) • Hands are equipped with tactile sensors and lidars, with 23 DoF (human hands have ~27 DoF) The overall design is deeply inspired by real human hand and arm muscle movements, impressive biomimicry approach @TheHumanoidHub and I interviewed their tech lead so stay tuned for more technical details!
