DEX-EE is a robust 3-fingered robotic hand by Shadow Robot Company (London, UK), purpose-built for demanding machine learning tasks. Weighing 4.1kg at 350mm height with 12 degrees of freedom, it is designed for maximal endurance in harsh learning experiments and easy user maintenance. Available in standard DEX-EE and DEX-EE Chiral variants; the Chiral version features human-like kinematics enabling easier imitation learning and bi-manual tasks. Described as the most robust dexterous robot hand on the market for machine learning applications.

Shareholders approved the Agility Robotics merger on November 2. Closing is expected November 4, followed by Nasdaq trading under AGLT on November 5.
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.
Jodell Robotics, a Suzhou-based company, debuted a full-stack industrial embodied execution product portfolio at CIIF following strategic industrial investment from Midea Group. The lineup includes the Mozart biomimetic five-finger dexterous hand, self-developed visuo-tactile sensors, and an embodied intelligence data acquisition kit, forming a complete 'hand-eye-brain-data' system for industrial applications.
