- 1OpenArm 2.0 launches as open-source 7-DOF robot arm●OpenArm 2.0 – An open-source 7-DOF robot arm with QDD joints, bilateral force feedback, in-hand camera
OpenArm 2.0 has been unveiled, an open-source robotic arm with seven degrees of freedom built around quasi-direct drive joints. The design includes bilateral force feedback for responsive, safe physical interaction and a camera mounted in the hand for grasping tasks. Aimed at researchers and hobbyists, it lowers the cost of entry to capable manipulation hardware and is drawing attention in the robotics community.
- 2Robot hands become focal point of physical intelligence race▼At the center of physical intelligence and the robot hand
Attention is turning to the robot hand as a central challenge in physical intelligence — the effort to give robots the dexterity to manipulate real-world objects. Grasping and fine manipulation remain difficult problems, and progress on capable robotic hands is seen as a key measure of whether machines can move beyond controlled environments into practical, general-purpose work.

A $220 discount on the Shark Matrix Plus 2-in-1 robot vacuum is being highlighted in deal coverage, positioning the self-emptying vacuum-and-mop combo as a strong hands-off cleaning option. Shoppers looking for automated home cleaning during a sale period may find the reduced price a good entry point into self-emptying robot vacuums.
- 5Chinese robot hand masters Suzhou embroidery as AGILINK shipments top 15,000▼Chinese robot hand learns Suzhou embroidery as AGILINK surpasses 15,000 dexterous hands shipped
AGILINK, a Chinese robotics company, has surpassed 15,000 dexterous robot hands shipped, demonstrating the technology by having one perform Suzhou embroidery, a delicate traditional Chinese craft. The milestone highlights China's rapid progress in robotic dexterity and mass production of humanoid-hand components. Observers point to it as evidence that fine-motor robotics is moving from laboratory demos to industrial-scale deployment, with potential uses in manufacturing and skilled manual work.
- 6KAIST Unveils Venus Flytrap-Inspired Robot Hand Material▼KAIST develops a Venus flytrap-inspired ‘robot hand’ material that senses objects and grasps them under light
Researchers at the Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology (KAIST) have developed a new material inspired by the Venus flytrap that can sense objects and grasp them when exposed to light. The finding points to soft robotic hands that respond to stimuli without complex electronics, and it is drawing attention in robotics and materials science circles.
