The five-finger hand weighs 1.94 pounds, measures 21 cm, and features 20 degrees of freedom with backdrivable joints that allow safe interaction with environments. This breakthrough prioritizes practical integration over raw specifications, potentially accelerating humanoid robot development in a market projected to reach $876 million by 2030.
