Norwegian robotics company 1X has unveiled new 25-degree-of-freedom (DOF), tendon-driven hands for its NEO humanoid robot, describing them as a major step toward human-level dexterity. The company said the redesigned hands deliver improvements in precision, strength, safety, and reliability, enabling NEO to perform a much wider range of real-world tasks. Recently, 1X began mass-producing its NEO humanoid robot at a new California factory, advancing the commercialization of home robots designed to assist with daily household tasks safely.By removing hardware limitations on manipulation, 1X aims to make artificial intelligence and training data, rather than physical capability, the primary factor determining what its humanoid robots can accomplish with their hands.
