It specializes in dexterous hands (multi-fingered, multi-degree-of-freedom end effectors modeled on the human hand), launching the Linker Hand series in 2024 with degrees of freedom ranging from 6 to 42 and covering linkage, tendon-driven, and direct-drive transmission, plus data gloves and teleoperation arms for data capture. In April 2025 it raised a seed round of more than RMB 100 million, and in February 2026 it closed a Series B of nearly RMB 1.5 billion at a valuation above RMB 10 billion, targeting deliveries of 50,000 to 100,000 dexterous hands that year; it was reportedly seeking a valuation of about $6 billion in its next round as of May.
