Direct-drive liquid-cooled robot hand debuts, targeting dexterity at the actuator level
ybisk · x · 2026-11-12
DanielXieee unveiled "project flow," a new-generation robot hand using direct drive and liquid cooling, claiming the long-standing overheating problem of robot hands is now solved. Ybisk adds that hands-on quanting convinced him no existing hand achieves dexterity without rethinking actuator design from scratch — every hand he evaluated had problems tracing back to actuators, prompting a dedicated team build.
