Dexterous Hands Tackle Real-World Warehouse Sorting
新智元 · wechat · 2026-07-19
This article introduces two dexterous hands and a micro servo cylinder showcased by Wana Robotics at WAIC2026, emphasizing their deployment in real-world warehouse sorting scenarios. - **Std16A**: Designed for industrial sorting, warehousing, and precision operations with 16 degrees of freedom. It emphasizes continuous operation, real-time control, and industrial integration capabilities. - **Eco12**: A lighter model aimed at teleoperation, human-computer interaction, academic research, education, and demonstrations. - **Micro Servo Cylinder**: Acts as the underlying actuator, featuring a compact size, high thrust, and high precision to support the joint output of the dexterous hands. The core highlight is that in May 2026, Wana Robotics deployed these dexterous hands into a well-known brand's actual warehousing operations for the 618 sorting festival. This deployment specifically validated continuous operational stability, system coordination, and exception handling. The author stresses that the key to commercializing dexterous hands is no longer just single demos, but the ability to execute real tasks consistently, reliably, and deployably.
