How can we build robotic hands with truly superhuman dexterity? Daxo Robotics is developing a unique tendon-driven soft robot hand, which aims to be tougher and more capable than a traditional humanoid hand. Each finger consists of many different tendons, which act in concert to move or manipulate.

This is a special episode of RoboPapers where, instead of talking about a scientific paper, we talk to Tom Zhang, founder of Daxo Robotics, in order to learn both about his background and about how this one-of-a-kind robot hand design works.
