The prototype features low backlash and high backdrivability.
Played their prototype a few weeks ago—very impressive. Low backlash, highly backdrivable, and relatively low gear ratios.
It gave me the same feeling I had when I first touched the Unitree G1 in 2024: a strong sense that an inflection point is coming.
I think 2026 will be the breakthrough year for dexterous hands, much like 2024 was for humanoids. There are already so many great teams building in this space—Sharpa, WuJi, RobotEra, just to name a few.
I have this impression as well; although I did not cover the new Wuji hand, I have been really impressed with what has been happening in this space: https://itcanthink.substack.com/p/robot-hands-are-getting-better?utm_source=share&utm_medium=android&r=3uj5js&triedRedirect=true
