What was said

"1X unveiled a completely redesigned hand for its Neo home humanoid. It's a substantial leap forward. 25 degrees of freedom, 22 in the fingers and palm, three in the wrist, tendon driven."

Robotics company 1X revealed a breakthrough tendon-driven hand for its Neo humanoid with 25 degrees of freedom, matching human hand functionality. The waterproof hand uses proprietary tendon material that is 100 times stronger than steel, doesn't stretch, and operates frictionlessly without lubrication. CEO Bernt Bøevik plans to produce 10,000 units in 2026, intensifying the race among humanoid robotics companies.
