1X Technologies Unveils Advanced Robotic Hand for Neo Humanoid Robot

The Norwegian-American robotics firm has introduced a five-fingered hand with 25 degrees of freedom, designed to mimic human dexterity for household tasks.

• The hand achieves 25 degrees of freedom, compared to 27 in a human hand, according to 1X Technologies.
• 1X designed the hand with a tendon-like system that places motors in the arm to reduce weight and increase flexibility.
• The hand uses force control and resistance response to modulate grip strength for delicate objects.
• 1X announced the hand received an IP68 water and dust resistance rating, enabling use in kitchens and humid environments.
