DEX-EE Series
The DEX-EE Series is a robust three-fingered dexterous robotic hand developed by Shadow Robot Company in collaboration with Google DeepMind, purpose-built for AI and machine learning research. It features 12 degrees of freedom, 15 Maxon DCX16 DC motors with tendon actuation, high-speed sensor networks with hundreds of tactile channels per finger via stereo-camera-based optical sensors, high-bandwidth torque and position control, and ROS integration. Available in symmetric (DEX-EE) and human-like chiral (DEX-EE Chiral) variants. Weight: 4.1 kg, height: 350 mm.
Primary use case: Dexterous robotic manipulation with tactile sensing and force and position control.

Xiaomi Engineers Robotic Hand From 1,827 Factory SOPs: China Spy Law Travels With It
Xiaomi developed a 324-gram, 21-DoF bionic hand with 26 motors, roughly 1,500 tactile points, and forearm-mounted tendon actuation, grounding its design in 1,827 automotive-factory SOPs rather than generic dexterity benchmarks. Xiaomi's analysis reported substantially better stable-grasp performance than simpler 6-to-15-DoF manipulators, but the hand remains undeployed and lacks public pricing, availability, independent reliability testing, and a security audit. The article also warns that Chinese intelligence and data-security laws, along with U.S. restrictions on foreign robotic devices, could prevent Western automotive manufacturers from adopting it.
