AI overview

Xiaomi revealed a 21-degree-of-freedom biomimetic robotic hand whose design draws on data collection and analysis covering 1,827 standard operating procedures in automotive factories. The hand combines hybrid actuation and tendon tension control with improvements to heat dissipation and full-palm tactile sensing. Xiaomi said simulation ablation tests showed that configurations with 17–21 degrees of freedom improved average stable grasping success by 15%–38% compared with configurations with 6–15 degrees of freedom, while gains slowed at 23 or more. Those simulation results informed its choice of 21 degrees of freedom for a hand designed around flexible manufacturing tasks in Xiaomi’s automotive factory.
