Changingtek Robotics Unveils Adaptive 'X2' Hand
Changingtek Robotics Technology has introduced what it claims is the world's first adaptive left-right dexterous (LRD) robotic hand, named the "X2." The device is designed as an advanced end-effector for a variety of robotic manipulation solutions.
- The X2 hand's reconfigurability is enabled by a tendon-driven transmission system, which allows for the autonomous reconstruction of its configuration from a left to a right hand. - Each of the five fingers is independently controlled, delivering a maximum gripping force of 50 N per hand and up to 10 N of force at the fingertip, with a force control accuracy of ±0.1 N. - The system integrates a proprietary high-precision vision system and leverages tactile-visual fusion with AI-based controls for object recognition, positioning, and adaptive grasping. - The design features a high number of degrees of freedom, specifically for performing complex tasks like insertion, extraction, and assembly in constrained environments, such as those found in aerospace manufacturing. - Changingtek Robotics, founded in 2018, is a Suzhou-based company that has completed a B funding round and holds over 150 intellectual property rights. - The company's technology is built on three internal platforms—mechanical intelligence, perception intelligence, and drive-control intelligence—with stated applications in aerospace, automotive manufacturing, and smart logistics.
