1X has unveiled the robotic hand for its NEO humanoid robot, focusing on hardware design that closely mimics human dexterity.
Key specs include:
- 25 active degrees of freedom with a tendon-driven structure
- A low gear ratio of 5:1 to 15:1, notably lower than the industry norm of 100:1 to 200:1
- Each joint doubles as both a motor and a sensor
- Equipped with high-resolution tactile sensing to measure pressure, contact location, and shear force
- IP68 sealed and washable
The post emphasizes that the hand balances both strength and precision, capable of lifting a 20lb kettlebell while also performing delicate tasks like picking a grape.
