Why use rendered pictures if you are already selling the product?

We all know what these are used for.

Backdrivable on all 22 joints. That one word is doing more work in this post than the DoF count.

I’m waiting this!

The hand is one of the hardest parts of a useful humanoid robot. 22 degrees of freedom at this price shows how fast the hardware is advancing

Techniahqrobot | humanoid robots1 day ago

22 joints in a 1:1 hand is a lot packed into a small space. I’d love to see how it performs with small objects, cables, tools, and repeated contact over time.

Running 22 DOF with full backdrivability in a human-sized envelope is a thermal nightmare. How are you managing heat rejection in the wrist without massive bulk? What’s your peak torque density at 80°C? 🔋

LesMisTic1 day ago

Nice.

22 DoF with full-joint backdrivability is the hard part of a dexterous hand. Starting at $6.5K is quite competitive looking forward to seeing how it integrates with the G1/H1.

David Mander1 day ago

This is not how opening a can works IRL.

Prince Kushwaha1 day ago

Full backdrivability across all 22 joints at $6.5K is the real unlock—most high-DoF research hands strip delicate gearboxes on their first accidental collision.

Jakie PLA1 day ago

22 DoF, backdrivable, real hand size, $6.5K. OH YES. I need one on the bench. Printable custom palm plates and a clean API would decide it.

Hands are as important as the brain. From Shenzhen, Stella Robot has unveiled the PANTHEON HAND 22:a new generation of bionic dexterous hand that combines 22 degrees of freedom with remarkable strength and finesse. It’s a hand that truly understands precision. It can lift 30 kilograms, yet is delicate enough to thread a needle.Each finger can bear 1.5 kilograms, and the entire hand can gently hold a piece of tofu or sense the subtle expansion of a balloon. Powered by a tendon-driven mechanism with integrated actuators inside the forearm, it achieves compact design and natural, human-like movement. From precision assembly and component handling to material transport and human-robot collaboration,the PANTHEON HAND 22 shows what it means for humanoid robots to truly work with their hands.

My eyes can't keep up with its hand gestures. Xynova's new dexterous hand--Prima1, uses direct drive. 22 degrees of freedom, tactile sensing, high-precision force control... it seems designed more for industrial manufacturing scenarios. They will be showcasing a physical hand at the WRC in Beijing. it must be said, when people discuss which is better, Xynova has already covered tendon-driven, hybrid-driven, and direct-drive hands.

Westworld-like hand Suzhou-bassed Rochu Robotics just tested a biomimetic hand that is completely different from the rigid motor-driven dexterous hands on the market: Pneumatic/Fluid-driven artificial muscles + 1:1 human skeletal structure. These artificial muscles contract when pressurized,just like biological ones --pulling on biomimetic tendons to move the joints with smooth, natural motion. Just 4 biomimetic muscles can easily lift a 3kg kettlebell, and demonstrate the versatility of flexible grasping…while also acing fast finger challenges (peace sign, rock on, counting, etc.) almost matching a real human hand. True compliance and safety in human-robot interaction,no more cold, stiff mechanics. This one is developing real life-like movement logic.

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.
