100k cycles of finger open & close. No motor overheating. Very little wear on the finger tendons. Tendon-driven hands don't usually publish their data on fatigue because tendon wear & tear is an unsolved problem. But we found a way.

Touch -> smell/taste -> balance -> hearing -> vision. This is the evolutionary order in which biological senses developed. The engineering difficulty roughly follows the reverse order. Vision is pretty easy now. But touch and smell are incredibly hard. Perhaps what took longer to develop are just a lot more complex (more hierarchies, more neural development, etc.)?

How many dexterous robotic hands are capable of drawing a circle? Not by moving the arm around but by wiggling the fingers. Full autonomy, too.

Redundancy and high dimensionality are overlooked in robotics. They are crucial aspects to building a "complex" system, instead of just a "complicated" system. What you get is speed, smoothness, robustness, and performance.

Introducing Muscle v0 -- infinite degrees of freedom, from Daxo Robotics. A different mountain to climb - with a far more beautiful peak. We built this from the ground up: - Ultra-dexterous - Built for machine learning - Durable and robust More below (1/n)

Solid "handshake" from a cool visitor to our new Austin office Daxo Robotics. We are still surprised every time we interact with our robotic hand -- it has a strong grip but doesn't hurt you. So much fun nerding out with Scott Humanoid Scott on robotics and hand design. Come visit again when v1 is ready! P.S. if you are a mechanical engineer with experience in mechanism & actuator design, DFM, rapid prototyping (sheet metal, laser cut, 3D print), please DM me.

Received a "surprise" call from the robot. If it can tap, swipe, and type, it can interface with the smart tools built for humans.

This is a portion of the force info we get from the hand, both when it's actively controlled and passively wiggled. We damaged some motors (black hexagons) from shipping the robot. But the fingers still have their full range of motion, thanks to the robustness of complexity.
