Super excited to visit WUJI who's pushing the frontier with their advanced dexterous robotic hand Most traditional robotic hands still rely on tendons/cables, but Wuji Hand uses direct-drive actuators embedded right in the fingers with worm gears. This solves the usual tendon problems by delivering smoother, more precise, and reliable motion with way less sim-to-real gap It also has high dexterity with 20 active degrees of freedom and the weight/size feel almost exactly like an adult human hand Got to test the newly launched Wuji Hand 2 today and was super fascinated! (watch how I handle the hand in the first video😂)

A Chinese inventor has created a robotic arm weighing five tons. The massive steel structure perfectly mimics the hand and finger movements of the human operator with remarkable precision. To demonstrate the power of his machine, Fan Shishan delivered a strike that crushed a Volvo XC70 and triggered its airbags.

Interestingly, Xynova’s technological approach shares the same origins as the dexterous hand technology used in Optimus v3 (though Elon has noted that this design still needs further refinement). The Flex2 is an upgraded version built on the Flex1: v1 featured 25 DOF and used a cable-driven system; the v2 introduces direct drive, which reduces the DOF to 23 but also sheds 400g in weight. It seems a hybrid drive mechanism may be the more practical solution. In March this year, following the successful completion of its Series A funding round (with investors including Xiaomi and others), this robotics company--founded in 2024--began construction of a large-scale production facility. Spanning over 5,000 square meters, the base is designed to achieve an annual output of 200,000 miniature electric cylinders and 10,000 dexterous hands. However, hardware alone is far from enough. A truly capable dexterous hand must be the result of the co-evolution of data, models, and the physical hardware. In other words, in addition to mass production, Xynova is simultaneously developing a complete integrated system that combines perception capabilities, robotic manipulation intelligence, and hand-specific coordination. This is essentially a foundational robotic module. Yet its applications go far beyond that. It can be directly adapted to industrial robotic arms on production lines, as well as integrated into the bodies of humanoid robots. That said, what I’m most eager to see is its use in advanced bionic prosthetics for humans. If it can successfully demonstrate this expanded capability, its impact will reach well beyond the realm of humanoid robots. (Cyborg)

New robot hands just dropped! But it seems to be missing a couple fingers. Tacta Systems Tacta Systems is a Palo Alto robotics startup that just came out of stealth, and raised with $75M and a dexterity platform, TactaBot, aimed at high-value manufacturing. TactaBot has three parts: - the Tacta Hand -> a human-scale robotic hand with 15 independently actuated joints, proprietary "Fluidic Tendon" actuation, pitched as reliable for millions of factory cycles. - the Tacta Sensor -> a tiny tactile sensor reading force from 250 Pa to 700,000 Pa, sampling at 400 Hz, resolving temperature to 0.1 °C. - Skill Capture -> a data system built around the Tacta Glove. It contains the same sensor embedded in a glove that factory workers wear. Sounds similar to what mimic is doing! Except with 3 fingers instead of 5. Tacta's vision sees 3 fingers as more than enough to complete all tasks, and less complex to simulate than 5. My opinion: Tacta is very strong at semiconductor/MEMS, their moat lies in their ability to manufacture their touch sensor as large as a grain of sand, not the hand or the model. One caveat though: there is no detail nor explanation of how the 5 finger data acquisition glove maps to the 3 finger hand -> I would love to learn more about it! This is where the interesting part of the tech is imho. If this does not work, then nothing does. Still, I have to admit it looks very cool, slick, and minimal, I love it:

Another magical encounter with an extraordinary bird today. This beautiful little goldcrest came to say hello. It’s Europe’s smallest bird weighing a little less than a 20p coin and yet each year it manages to cross the North Sea. It may be small but it has the heart of a lion!

Genesis AI just unveiled Eno. It's humanoid robot that challenges everything the industry assumed about what robots should look like. Forbes just called it 'the iPhone moment for humanoid robots'. No head. No face. No exposed motors or cables. 22 degrees of freedom per hand with different finger lengths (like actual human hands). Back-drivable for safety. Onboard cameras and tactile sensors. In demos: bundling wires with tape (genuinely hard, tape is sticky and unpredictable), performing lab automation with millimeter precision on unmodified equipment. Optional chest screen shows the robot's reasoning before it acts, a visual window into its mind to build trust. Powered by Genesis AI GENE foundation model. Payload 3-5kg per arm, 4-6 hours battery. Industrial deployments late 2026, homes much later. ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

Elon Musk has repeatedly highlighted the hand (and forearm) as one of the toughest engineering challenges for Tesla’s Optimus Robot. A new Patent (for presumably Optimus 3) shows Tesla is using human anatomy to recreate a tendon-driven robotic hand and forearm assembly that closely mimics a human system. Basically, Tesla is replacing human muscles with actuators and tendons with cables to replicate human dexterity. The Tesla Engineering team is on another level. Optimus Gen 3 reveal is going to be incredible.

Reality check. Astra is crazy, but it is far away from one shot and done. Alot of hand holding, illogical output etc. This took 63 percent of a 5x pro subscirbtion and tens of iteration. Amazing for an initial block out but def needs a human artist to still actually finish it

Rare-event discovery for robots training is what we’ve been working on lately How would a robot react to an unusual event? What if a firefighter drone won’t be able to choke a fire (like on the video below)? Robo-doctors use cases? How to mass-produce these situations to train robots to see & react the best way? I think that open-sourced, world models like LTX can become the solution for such training process. And they might become the differentiator for the future of robotics. Of course, I’m not an expert in robotics and ML, but this topic makes me curious - and I’m curious about your thoughts

🚨 BREAKING: NVIDIA just announced the Isaac GR00T Reference Humanoid Robot. The first fully open humanoid robot reference design built on Jetson Thor, and it's going straight to the world's top research institutions. This is Jensen Huang's bet on open physical AI infrastructure. The hardware stack is serious: → Unitree H2 Plus chassis, 6 feet tall, 150 pounds, 31 degrees of freedom → Sharpa Wave tactile five-finger hands, 22 degrees of freedom, bringing total to 75 across the full body → NVIDIA Jetson AGX Thor onboard compute, 2,070 FP4 teraflops of AI performance, 128GB unified memory → Multi-view sensing, stereo head camera, wrist cameras, IMU Alongside this announcement, Unitree also introduced the H2 Plus as a standalone product, a frontier humanoid combining Unitree's own body, Sharpa's five-finger hands and NVIDIA Robotics Jetson Thor compute into one fully integrated research platform. The full Isaac GR00T software stack ships with it, teleoperation for data capture, open foundation models, Isaac Sim for training, Isaac Lab for evaluation, and accelerated ROS middleware for deployment. The complete loop from data to real-world robot in one unified platform. ETH Zürich, Stanford Robotics Center, UC San Diego and Ai2 are already on board as launch research partners. NVIDIA Robotics did to AI what it's now doing to robotics, build the platform, open the ecosystem, let the world build on top of it. Whoever owns the infrastructure layer wins. NVIDIA knows this better than anyone. 👀 Read more here: ~~ ♻️ Join the weekly robotics newsletter, and never miss any news →

🤖 Robotic hands are evolving faster than we realize — and they’re learning to master our world. I find this both fascinating and a little unsettling. At first glance, these robotic hands still look awkward - stiff fingers, clumsy motion. But behind the scenes, every iteration brings: ➡️ Tighter sensors ➡️ Smarter control loops ➡️ Better training on human-designed objects Week by week, they move closer to something astonishing — not imitation, but mastery. They’re learning to grip, twist, and adapt to tools made for our anatomy. And once they reach human-level dexterity, they won’t stop there. They’ll surpass it — steadier than surgeons, faster than assembly lines, tireless and precise. This is more than robotics. It’s the moment machines stop mimicking us… and start outperforming us. How do we redefine “human skill” in a world where robots master it too? #AI #Robotics #Innovation #Technology #Automation #FutureOfWork #Engineering

Every soul is a unique perspective of the same eternal Consciousness. To harm another is to wound another finger of the same hand. To know yourself is to know the Whole. Suffering is a lesson that must be learned, for it is through it that we awaken and become one with the Divine. I hope the animation won't give you nightmares.

Something big is happening in robotics - and it’s hiding in plain sight. This post is not about dancing robots but in the data that powers them. Open robotics datasets have exploded this year, turning the field into a more scalable and collaborative ecosystem. In just two years, Hugging Face datasets grew from 11k to over 600k - and robotics is by far the fastest-growing segment. We went from 1k robotics datasets in 2024 to 27k in 2025! For comparison, text generation, the second-largest category, has only around 5k datasets in 2025. That gap is massive. Open datasets are important because robotics lives and dies by real-world robot data - video, actions, sensors, failures. By making this data easy to upload, reuse, and benchmark, researchers, startups, and large players are now releasing real-robot datasets that would have stayed locked inside labs just a few years ago. Major contributors include NVIDIA, LeRobot initiative, and a rapidly growing maker community. This surge is also enabled by cheaper video storage, better tooling, and an open-source AI culture now spilling into the physical world. And it really matters: open robotics data dramatically lowers entry barriers, accelerates learning-by-doing, and speeds up progress toward generalist and humanoid robots. Robotics won’t scale through hardware alone - but to a large extent through shared data. Viz below from AI World - link to the story and more viz/filters in comment.
