At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference, Shenzhen-based Stella-Robot unveiled its innovative robotic hands, the Pantheon Hand 20 and Gaia Hand 20. The Pantheon Hand 20, weighing only 290 grams, can grip up to 50 kilograms, thanks to its unique 'drive separation' technology that relocates the drive unit away from the hand itself.
This breakthrough in design allows for a lightweight yet powerful robotic hand, making advanced robotics more accessible. The Gaia Hand 20 features a modular design with a quick-change joint system, enabling easy repairs without returning the entire unit. Priced at 16,999 yuan, the affordability of these products marks a significant shift in the robotics market, previously dominated by high-cost alternatives.
Stella-Robot's products are already being utilized in top universities and research institutions, indicating their potential impact on the field of embodied intelligence. As the cost of robotic hands drops from the millions to tens of thousands, the company is poised to democratize advanced robotic capabilities for developers everywhere. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
