Jilin University Team Releases Y-Hand M2, the Globally Highest Degree-of-Freedom Biomimetic Dexterous Hand
The Y-Hand M2 biomimetic dexterous hand, developed by Professor Ren Lei's team at Jilin University, is currently the globally highest-degree-of-freedom biomimetic hand with 38 degrees of freedom. It achieves high flexibility and compliance through biomimetic tensile-compression robotic technology, successfully completing 33 types of human-like dexterous operations with a success rate of 96%. The product has already entered mass production and is applied in multiple fields such as intelligent manufacturing and healthcare.
Two Unitree G1 Robots Play Table Tennis Doubles: PingpongDuo Enables Humanoid Team Coordination
A research team from Shanghai Chuangzhi College, Yuance Future, Hong Kong University, and NVIDIA has developed PingpongDuo, a system that enables two Unitree G1 humanoid robots to perform table tennis doubles. The system combines perception, team coordination, and whole-body motion control, using reinforcement learning for planning and risk assessment. Real-world testing showed improved performance over traditional rule-based strategies, with the robots achieving 18 consecutive alternating returns in a human-robot doubles match.
New Atlas — RoboticsWound-helix robot leaps and bounds over obstacles
Researchers from UCLA and the University of Michigan have developed a frog-like robot that uses flexible rods to snap between shapes, enabling it to hop over obstacles, climb steps, and swim. The robot outperforms rigid-legged designs in speed and adaptability across various surfaces, offering potential applications in search-and-rescue and inspection tasks.
