This is the most advanced robot hand ever invented. It's tendon-based from 1X. And it sounds wild, but this innovation might just be the ChatGPT moment for Robotics. The breakthrough. Now, the big breakthrough here is that this hand has 25 degrees of freedom, and it has nearly as much dexterity and strength as a human. This hand can assemble Legos, it can play video games with a controller, and it's even delicate enough to screw in a light bulb, which is wild. Now when you look at the hand closely, you can see the super advanced tendon-based drive system that powers it. But what makes this insanely unique is that this is the first ever robot hand that can feel. See, all other robotic hands are basically, they can't feel what it's touching. So the cameras watch it move and try to guess what it might be feeling. That's why most robotic hands are so clumsy and laggy when they try to pick things up. It's because they have no sense of touch. But this hand is completely one of those of freedom, force controlled and fully back-drivable. And that means when you push on any finger, it will stop moving until you tell me how hard you pushed. Now that sounds like a little tweak, but that simple change makes this hand infinitely more valuable than any other robot created. The truth is, with this hand, we are witnessing the very beginning of a new age in robotics. And just like when Roger Bannister broke the four minute mile, this hand design will reset the frontier for robots.
