The Waseda University spin-out reveals a roadmap for higher-density tactile sensors and a new integration with the Tesollo DG-5F hand.

Following their viral reveal, the founders of Kyber Labs made a surprise appearance on Royden D’Souza’s podcast to discuss tendon actuation, heat management, and their "anti-humanoid" strategy with Scott Walter and Gustav Andersson.

A new Brooklyn-based startup, founded by SpaceX and Tarform alumni, is showcasing a robotic hand capable of rapid nut-turning and delicate touch without expensive sensors.

Elon Musk claims the next Optimus hand will have 50 actuators, a massive leap in complexity from the 17-actuator V2.5 prototype analyzed by experts. The new goal: “superhuman” precision for surgical tasks.

The high-dexterity RUKA hand, previously an open-source DIY project from NYU, is now available as a commercial kit starting at $549. The collaboration aims to make advanced robotics hardware more accessible, but features one key component swap to hit its low price point.
