Allonic, a Hungarian robotics startup is developing humanoid robot bodies using a proprietary 3D Tissue Braiding system that weaves high-strength fibers, elastic tendons, wiring and sensors around a minimal internal skeleton, mimicking how human connective tissue wraps around bones. The approach enables complex, dexterous structures that are lightweight, strong... show more

Just saw something that actually feels like a real leap in robotics hardware.👋 Allonic built a robot hand using 3D Tissue Braiding,basically weaving high-strength fibers around a minimal rigid skeleton the way human connective tissue wraps around bone. No hundreds of screws, bearings, cables or fiddly joints. Instead,a continuous automated process that creates the tendons, soft tissue & compliant structure all at once. The outcome is wild: »strong yet naturally soft & safe for close human interaction »surprisingly dexterous »produced from digital design→physical part in minutes »cost drops so much that you could eventually swap end-effectors like disposable gloves This is starting to feel like the moment robotic bodies get their own “3D printing revolution”. Hardware iteration speed finally approaching software speed. If this scales, it could be one of the missing pieces that lets dexterous humanoid robots move from lab → factories → homes. (Oh, and the company just raised $7.2M Pre-Seed,largest ever in Hungary. Budapest-based with US HQ. Led by Visionaries Club + angels from OpenAI, Hugging Face, ETH Zurich, Northwestern etc.) Prototype hand looks insane,the woven fiber texture is unreal.

This robotic hand can weave itself together in minutes. Allonic developed a process that "braids" robot bodies around a 3D-printed skeleton in a single automated step. The tech draws from the textile industry, using braided fibers instead of traditional mechanical joints and bearings. Their braiding system grows tendon-driven structures directly onto skeletal cores, creating flexible yet durable parts without screws or assembly. One finger only needs 4 skeletal elements. Then thousands of braided fibers wrap around them to handle force and articulation. The software converts designs directly into machine code that runs the braiding process. But what matters is that robotic hands like this can cost up to $30,000, ~20-30% of a humanoid robot's total price. Allonic's braiding process could crush those costs while enabling custom designs at scale.

Allonic Robotics has introduced a new robotic hand built without screws, cables, or complex joints. It uses braided fibers to create both tendons and structure in a single automated step, making it strong, flexible, and smooth in motion. This approach could simplify manufacturing and speed up the production of robotic hands.

What's nice about calithsenics is that progress is slow. Some movements take months and years to accomplish because tendons, joints and connective tissue adapt much slower than muscle. It takes time to integrate the system.

New humanoid startup out of Hungary: Allonic The unique hand design moves away from rigid industrial design toward a biomimetic approach. - Each finger is braided around like a rope in a single autonomous process; this process also includes the threading of the tendons through the braided "tissues." - The braidings wrap around and provide distributed load across the surface of the finger rather than a single point of failure. - The hand naturally conforms to objects during a grip and allows for variable stiffness like human hands. The cost of the hand (not including motors) could be as low as $50.

THE WOVEN ROBOT! Wow! The woven robot hand is here and it is absolutely game-changing. Allonic just braided thousands of tendon-like fibers around a 3D-printed skeleton in minutes. No joints. No screws. No human assembly. Pure biomimetic tissue that flexes, grips, and lasts like biology itself. This isn’t incremental. This is the breakthrough that collapses robot hand costs from $30,000 to pennies. The old world of expensive, fragile robotic limbs is over. Now humanoid robots can build more of themselves scalable, replicable, anywhere. Robots building Robots building Robots, yeah you get it. In your freaking garage! Massive opportunities are about to explode as work as we know it fades. Rent one, have it build your fleet, send it back, repeat. Thousands if you want. The age of woven machines begins.

Dexterous hands are one of the biggest challenges in robotics, with even Elon Musk noting their development accounts for half of a humanoid robot's total work. A new approach from the Y-Hand M1 bionic hand may be a significant step forward. Based on an international first-of-its-kind "bionic tension-compression theory," the M1 replaces traditional rigid hinges with a 6-DoF joint system and uses self-developed magnetic artificial muscles. This design allows it to perform complex, human-like tasks, including: ► Mastering all 33 Feix dexterous grasp categories. ► Precisely twirling playing cards and threading a needle with subtle human-like adjustments. ► Smoothly twisting bottle caps and turning book pages. The team behind the M1 is already working on the next-gen Y-Hand M3, aiming for around 70 degrees of freedom, believing that robotic hands may soon reach or even exceed human-level dexterity.
