To @grok - If Xynova accomplished this... why not show the hands in action instead of an AI video of the hands?

Two fist extensions per second is an unusual thing to optimise for

Fist extensions, you say? 🧐

【背筋力テストで、一般人の手首は50～70kgの張力にたえられます。ワンハンドで12kgでも人間以下の非力だが…。しかし、これが握力ならかなりの力です。ま、最大12kgまで扱うと言っても、何の力か説明不足の言葉不足…。】

Sudden slip detection failure while handling a 12 kg load could result in dangerous drops or crushed objects. What fallback mechanism maintains grip pressure if the adaptive sensors experience a momentary signal loss?

⚡️The impasse has been surpassed…build by perfection, it is why the ones who are ruling this Planet think humanoid are better than humans to work for them. 🔺They need no food, no salary, no sleep, no dumping etc… 🔺Humanoids surpassed their own technological intelligence by building themselves. It’s why humans have been called by Elites 💁🏻‍♀️useless eaters!

Dexterous robotic hands are becoming lighter, faster, and more capable. Combining precision, adaptive grip, and slip detection could unlock much more practical manipulation for humanoids and industrial robots. 🤖✋

Xynova just launched Flex 2, its second-gen hybrid dexterous hand — and Xiaomi is already on the cap table. 🤖✋ The spec sheet is sharp: 23 DOF, 400g palm, ±0.1mm repeatability, 0.05N force control, 12kg single-hand grasp load, and multimodal sensing for adaptive grasping and slip detection. Xynova is not only building a robotic hand. It is building the manipulation stack around it: micro linear actuators, joint modules, sensing, control, and developer-facing integration. The Xiaomi link is confirmed. Xiaomi Strategic Investment joined Xynova’s angel round and continued adding in the Pre-A round. What is not confirmed: whether Xiaomi’s own robot hand uses Xynova’s technology. That detail still has no public proof. But the direction is clear: Xiaomi is putting money into the component layer that decides whether humanoids can actually handle objects, tools, and daily tasks. This is the part of robotics that rarely looks flashy on stage. But it decides what a robot can really do with its hands.

Holy…S😳 Xiaomi's New CyberOne is so human-like Although this update features a bionic hand, I was immediately drawn to it. Let's look at the changes in the hand： It can handle industrial precision tasks like turning screws, plus delicate operations such as pinching feathers and throwing balloons. Behind the performance: >Volume cut by 60%:now almost identical in size/shape to a real human hand >Big leap in degrees of freedom (+50% total, +83% active:22-27DOF) >Full-palm tactile sensors over 8200 mm² for precise grip even without vision >150,000+ grip cycles durability (61-hour test) And a major innovation:Smart bionic sweat gland cooling: evaporates water for ~10W active heat dissipation Using tactile gloves to capture real human data, they’re training smoother, human-like grasps with imitation and reinforcement learning. Elon has said that humanoid hands and true AI are the most difficult aspects of building humanoid robots. It seems that Xiaomi is also getting close.
