Engineers at 1X have developed a 25-degree-of-freedom humanoid robot hand for advanced dexterous manipulation. It uses force sensors in every joint and fingertips to detect pressure, slipping, and automatically adjust its grip. Its lightweight, waterproof design allows the NEO humanoid robot to safely wash its hands after cooking or other messy tasks.

Hands are the bridge for the emergence of intelligence. DM-Hand1, developed by Shenzhen DaimonRobotics, is a humanoid hand equipped with visual and tactile sensors, enabling robots to perceive any object and its changes and respond appropriately. This means humanoid robots equipped with this hand show strong potential in precision tasks, cluttered item sorting, and especially in service roles like elderly care.

Schaeffler is bringing UK's humanoid robots from concept to factory reality. Within the next 5 years, hundreds of humanoid robots will be deployed in Schaeffler's global factories, with beta versions first implemented in 2026–2027. Schaeffler is also becoming the preferred supplier of joint actuators for the humanoid wheeled platform and is jointly exploring next-generation actuator architectures with its partner. More importantly, the two companies will collaborate deeply on data and skills: continuously accumulating real-world manufacturing data through teleoperation, synthetic data, and peripheral data acquisition robots to train AI models, enabling humanoid robots to learn faster and perform more reliably in the factory.

Humanoid Long Jump. The G1 humanoid from Unitree Robotics has completed a long jump of 1.4 meters - possibly the longest jump ever achieved by a humanoid robot of its size in the world, standing only 1.32 meters tall. The G1 has up to 43 joint motors and a dexterous three-fingered hand, designed for precise manipulation and AI research. Priced from $16,000, it features robust Sim2Real capabilities, making it a compelling choice for robotics developers.
