How Did Beijing’s Linkerbot Become the Only Company Worldwide to Mass Produce High Degree of Freedom Dexterous Hands?

Linkerbot (Lingxin Qiaoshou Beijing Technology Company) has announced the completion of its Series A plus financing round worth several hundred million yuan. The round attracted participation from leading investors including Zhejiang Innovation Investment, Deqing Industry Investment, Leju Robotics, CDH Baifu, Jinghua New Material, Dongfang Precision, Aux, Huafu Investment, Hongyi Fund, Hongshan Capital, Xiangyuan New Material and others.

The company has become the only enterprise in the world capable of mass producing high degree of freedom dexterous hands at the scale of one thousand units. Its market share exceeds 80 percent globally and it has achieved full coverage of tendon rope, direct drive and linkage actuation technologies. Monthly orders have surpassed one thousand units.

Its flagship high degree of freedom product, the linker Hand L20, offers 21 degrees of freedom and is available in general purpose and industrial versions. It is one of the few products in the sector that provides full chain usability from algorithm development to industrial deployment. To further meet industry level needs, the company launched the linker Hand L6 to complete its Industrial Master product line. Its in house developed ultra power electric cylinder uses a brushless motor combined with a ball screw and reaches a driving efficiency of 90 percent which is more than twice the level of traditional products. The ball screw end thrust reaches 200 newtons and the tested lifetime exceeds one million cycles.

As humanoid robots enter a period of rapid growth, mid sized robots have become the main force for wider adoption. To serve this demand, the company launched the linker Hand O6 which weighs only 370 grams and currently stands as the lightest model of its kind worldwide. This redefines lightweight performance and significantly reduces end effector load while offering high value for cost. The O6 has also introduced a Lite version that brings advanced technology and mass production benefits to a broader range of users.

In addition to product expansion, Linkerbot is investing in long term technical and data development. The company released the Open TeleDex modular teleoperation system that enables a TripleAny architecture supporting any external device, any robotic arm and any dexterous hand which greatly reduces system building costs for dexterous data collection. It also developed the linkerSkillNet multimodal data system which forms the world’s largest dexterous operation skill library and helps developers build new applications efficiently. Furthermore, the company created the Dex Serl real machine reinforcement learning framework which integrates end force sensing and automated auxiliary actions to significantly increase training automation.

Linkerbot previously demonstrated an innovative application in which a dexterous hand autonomously assembled a robotic arm extending the concept of robotic self manufacturing. At the second Zhongguancun Embodied Intelligence Robot Application Conference the company presented its new Linkerbot strategy which evolves self manufacturing into self evolution with the aim of creating an ecosystem where robots continue learning, evolving and generating new skills.

The company stated that it will continue scaling its production capacity and plans to deliver fifty thousand to one hundred thousand dexterous hands in 2026. The goal is to support industry wide adoption of dexterous manipulation and accelerate the empowerment of global robotics.
