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... show more

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.

A new industry is emerging alongside China’s humanoid robot boom: companies specializing in robotic clothing and flexible outer skins. KNITREAL’s RoboSkin uses seamless knitting, multi-directional stretch, and a soft matte finish to conform to moving joints and complex surfaces.

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.

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.

Awesome! This is literally a superhuman hand. 🤖✋ ChangingTek Robotics just dropped a dexterous hand that actually morphs between left and right hand configurations on the fly. It uses cable-driven tech to pull off shapes and reverse bends that human hands can't even dream of doing. The power is real too, with a 50N grip force and 10N at the fingertips while staying precise within 0.1N. It is kind of like a rigid octopus, meaning it is tough enough to crank a wrench or screwdriver but smooth enough to grab a drink. Having this much range of motion in a single hand basically doubles the efficiency of any robotic arm in tight spots.

Building a fully actuated, human-level robotic hand by strength, speed, and range of motion is hard. Making it incredibly durable is even more challenging. Clone has pioneered anthropomorphic hands with 27 degrees of freedom, human-level grip strength and speed, and the most durable artificial muscles in the world. The Hand in this demo is missing middle flexor muscles, but here’s an update on the neural joint controller.

Hands full of dexterity! 🪬 It is well known that agile, versatile hands for robots are one of the Holy Grails in robotics today. Grippers and robot hands are often underestimated, and they are the actuators behind correct and accurate picking, or placing. This robotic hand was created at the Korea University of Technology and Education. 🇰🇷 The 5-finger, 12-DoF (degrees of freedom) robotic hand features 3-DoF each for the thumb, index, and middle fingers, while the ring and little fingers share a combined 3 DoF. It uses BLDC motors with ball-screw actuators and includes a clutch mechanism to absorb impacts and prevent overload. Now, a challenge for you - guess the year! Kudos to all gripper/hand-developing companies! WE CAN'T PICK WITHOUT YOU! 🏋🏼 ~~~ ♻️ RT to help 1 robot find a new workplace.

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.

Nomagic secures $44M to expand AI-Powered robotic arms! 🇵🇱 Polish robotics startup Nomagic has raised $44 million in Series B funding to improve its AI-powered robotic arms and expand into North America. The European Bank for Reconstruction and Development (EBRD) led the round, which included participation from Khosla Ventures, Almaz Capital, and the European Investment Bank (EIB). Unlike many robotics firms, Nomagic focuses on software. It uses computer vision and machine learning to train robotic arms to handle a variety of objects with greater efficiency and adaptability. The company relies on off-the-shelf hardware like the arms you can see in the video from ABB Robotics, making its solutions more flexible and scalable. Nomagic's annual recurring revenue has grown by 220% over the past year, and another 200% is expected in 2025. So cool to see a Polish company succeed in the robotics space!

How can we build robotic hands with truly superhuman dexterity? Daxo Robotics is developing a unique tendon-driven soft robot hand, which aims to be tougher and more capable than a traditional humanoid hand. Each finger consists of many different tendons, which act in concert to move or manipulate. This is a special episode of RoboPapers where, instead of talking about a scientific paper, we talk to Tom Zhang, founder of Daxo Robotics, in order to learn both about his background and about how this one-of-a-kind robot hand design works. Watch Episode #40 of RoboPapers with Michael Cho - Rbt/Acc and Chris Paxton now!

NEW: Chinese robotic company has unveiled a robotic dog that can sprint a 100-meter dash in under 10 seconds. Insane. The Black Panther 2.0 built by Mirror Me has fitted a robot dog with spring joints so it can replicate live animals. The robot can run faster than most humans and was created in just three months. "Through the integration of software and components, we created a prototype within a mere three months," said Wang Hongtao, professor at Zhejiang University. The group says they hope to eventually surpass living animals in terms of the robot's speed and mobility.
