[Dexterous Hands for Robots See Price Drop; Global Humanoid Robot Market to Exceed 20 Billion Yuan] In a research and development lab for dexterous hands, engineer Huang Junlin is conducting AI training on a six-DOF dexterous hand designed for home use. Unlike industrial applications, home use places higher demands on the weight, cost, and ease of use of dexterous hands. The company's head told reporters that the cost of a dexterous hand accounts for approximately 10% to 15% of the total cost of a humanoid robot. Currently, the price of a single dexterous hand has dropped from the early 100,000 yuan level to below 10,000 yuan. To cope with the surge in consumer orders, the company is adjusting and expanding its production lines. It is predicted that the global humanoid robot market will exceed 20 billion yuan by 2026. The explosive growth of consumer-grade humanoid robots is accelerating the formation of a new supply chain ecosystem encompassing bionic skin, tactile sensors, and flexible materials. At a new materials company in Jiaxing, Zhejiang, their third-generation electronic skin product has achieved multimodal perception and real-time feedback capabilities. Currently, they have delivered over 20,000 sets of tactile sensing products, and a new mass production line has been completed. (CCTV Finance)
