1X unveils 25-DoF robotic hands for NEO

1X has introduced new 25-DoF tendon-driven robotic hands for its NEO humanoid robot to achieve human-level dexterity and force control. The hands feature low-gear-ratio actuators for backdrivable operation and integrate high-resolution fingertip tactile sensors.

// ANALYSIS

By shifting from traditional high-gear ratio actuators to a highly tactile, low-gear tendon system, 1X is directly addressing the biggest hurdle in humanoid robotics—safe, adaptable physical manipulation.

* 25 degrees of freedom paired with tendon-driven actuation offers human-like flexibility and force transparency.

* High-resolution tactile sensing allows the robot to handle delicate tasks, such as zipping jackets or handling small screws, alongside heavy lifting.

* In-house production scaling to 10,000 hands in 2026 indicates a strong commitment to moving humanoids from research labs into mass deployment.

Terminal Control is an open-source tool that enables AI coding agents to control, test, and capture real terminal applications through pseudo-terminals.

Terminal Control provides a Rust-based command-line interface and a TypeScript client library that allow external drivers, such as AI agents and automated testing suites, to interact directly with Terminal User Interfaces (TUIs). By offering a real pseudo-terminal environment, it overcomes the limitations of parsing plain text output, enabling precise keystroke injection, screen capture, timeline recording, and extraction of structured visual states like SVG and JSON.
