Chinese firms are intensifying the race in humanoid robotics, focusing on the development of dexterous hands, which are crucial for performing human-like tasks. Linkerbot Technology has unveiled its Linker Hand, claiming it boasts the highest dexterity available, featuring 42 degrees of freedom compared to Tesla's Optimus hand's 22. This competition is pivotal as dexterous hands represent the final challenges in humanoid development. Experts highlight that advances in sensor technology will significantly impact these robots' capabilities, marking a crucial turning point in humanoid robotics.
...the Linker Hand research version has the world's highest 42 degrees of freedom (DOF), surpassing the 26 of the world's leading product, Shadow Hand. Each finger could independently have up to 7 DOF, which means it has surpassed human fingers.
In a comment about the Optimus video, NVIDIA Sr. Research Manager & Lead of Embodied AI (GEAR Lab), Jim Fan, noted that Optimus' hands are among the best in the industry.
