Xynova just launched Flex 2, its second-gen hybrid dexterous hand — and Xiaomi is already on the cap table. 🤖✋ The spec sheet is sharp: 23 DOF, 400g palm, ±0.1mm repeatability, 0.05N force control, 12kg single-hand grasp load, and multimodal sensing for adaptive grasping and slip detection. Xynova is not only building a robotic hand. It is building the manipulation stack around it: micro linear actuators, joint modules, sensing, control, and developer-facing integration. The Xiaomi link is confirmed. Xiaomi Strategic Investment joined Xynova’s angel round and continued adding in the Pre-A round. What is not confirmed: whether Xiaomi’s own robot hand uses Xynova’s technology. That detail still has no public proof. But the direction is clear: Xiaomi is putting money into the component layer that decides whether humanoids can actually handle objects, tools, and daily tasks. This is the part of robotics that rarely looks flashy on stage. But it decides what a robot can really do with its hands.

A mom asked 1X Technologies' NEO humanoid robot to yell at her son to do his homework, and NEO basically said "that's your job, not mine."

LG made a face for humanoid robots LG Display just unveiled its first 7.2-inch curved P-OLED panel for humanoid robots at SID Display Week 2026 in LA. The flexible screen wraps around a robot’s head as its "face," staying mostly black and lighting up only essentials,greetings, battery, weather, calendar, sleep mode. Unused pixels turn off completely for better efficiency. Built with automotive-grade toughness: 1,000 nits, -30°C to 85°C, 15,000+ hour lifespan, and 18% lower power draw. It’s the perfect match for LG’s CLOiD humanoid from CES 2026, with its two 7-DoF arms that handle real housework like grabbing food or folding laundry. The screen serves not merely as an information panel,it also fulfills a role in providing status feedback, expressing emotion, and fostering a sense of companionship.
