Incredible piece of engineering. Boston Dynamics has optimized for simulatability and ease of manufacturing over exact human-likeness. New four-finger hand unlock a huge range of dexterous behavior. Now it's AI's turn to explore the hardware limits.

UM1-Evo: The Ultra-Lifelike Biomechanical Hand (24DoF)

After 5.5 years of fully independent and secret research and development, here is the UM1-Evo hand.

Designed to push the boundaries of humanoid robotics and next-generation prosthetics, the UM1-Evo aims to overcome the "uncanny valley" by combining mechanical performance with natural visual aesthetics.

⚙️ **Key Specs:**

* **24 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) and 25 actuators.**

* **Full integration within the real size and weight of a human forearm (1.7 kg / 3.7 lbs).**

* **Advanced anatomical kinematics featuring true thumb opposition and finger convergence towards the anatomical snuffbox.**

* **Total relaxation at rest for a natural posture (zero power consumption).**

* **Grip force demonstrated at 8 kg (17.6 lbs), with a future target of up to 15 kg (33 lbs).**

* **Engineered from scratch:** from biomechanical study to software programming, including the creation of custom CNC manufacturing machines.

Humanoid robots building other humanoid robots could soon become a real part of industrial automation. Kepler Robotics K2 Bumblebee is built for factory work, standing 1.75 meters tall with 52 degrees of freedom and a 30 kg dual-arm payload.

The robot has already been tested in real manufacturing environments, including VEICHI Electric’s factory.
