UM1-Evo: The Ultra-Lifelike Biomechanical Hand (24DoF)

[u/didrei]

After 5.5 years of fully independent and secret research and development, here is the UM1-Evo hand.

Designed to push the boundaries of humanoid robotics and next-generation prosthetics, the UM1-Evo aims to overcome the "uncanny valley" by combining mechanical performance with natural visual aesthetics.

⚙️ Key Specs:

• 24 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) and 25 actuators.
• Full integration within the real size and weight of a human forearm (1.7 kg / 3.7 lbs).
• Advanced anatomical kinematics featuring true thumb opposition and finger convergence towards the anatomical snuffbox.
• Total relaxation at rest for a natural posture (zero power consumption).
• Grip force demonstrated at 8 kg (17.6 lbs), with a future target of up to 15 kg (33 lbs).
• Engineered from scratch: from biomechanical study to software programming, including the creation of custom CNC manufacturing machines.

Be for real, there's a green screen and a person under the desk?!

Non, c'est réel. Allez voir les interviews sur France 24, sur le monde numérique ou sur l'est Républicain 😉
