Document 9: August 2026 – From WRC Exhibition Hall to Opening Ceremony Stage | The Dexterous Hand, Poised for Action
The WRC World Robot Conference is in full swing, with INSPIRE ROBOTS’ Booth B405 attracting a large number of industry partners, experts, and media. The RH524J1 Series 24-DOF Tendon-Direct-Drive Hybrid Dexterous Hand (J1 Series) completed its highly anticipated debut on the first day, becoming the core highlight of this year’s exhibition. Meanwhile, INSPIRE ROBOTS is deeply involved in the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games, with the opening ceremony on August 22 featuring the “Intelligent Core Lighting” finale segment, where INSPIRE dexterous hands will once again take the national stage, while also providing technical support for multiple participating teams in the dexterous hand specialized competitions during the Games.
A single dexterous hand, moving from exhibition booth to national ceremony stage, completes a public verification of technical capability under real working conditions.
With over a decade of deep cultivation in the field of miniature precision motion actuation, INSPIRE ROBOTS has completed full-stack in-house R&D and production—from Micro Linear Servo Actuator core components, sensors, drive control algorithms, to complete system integration—breaking free from core technology dependencies and building a rare, self-sufficient and controllable industrial chain capability in the industry.
At this year’s WRC, INSPIRE ROBOTS officially released the RH524J1 Series 24-DOF Tendon-Direct-Drive Hybrid Dexterous Hand, expanding the capability boundaries of dexterous hands in high-degree-of-freedom operation scenarios.
The J1 Series tendon-driven dexterous hand features 24 active degrees of freedom, with 22 distributed in the palm and 2 in the wrist. It adopts a tendon-direct-drive hybrid solution, combining the compliance of tendon-driven systems with the efficiency of direct-drive structures, integrating multi-modal control advantages including tactile sensing and depth vision, achieving ultimate operational flexibility.
At this WRC, INSPIRE ROBOTS collaborated with Wuhan University to create the “Smart Hand Fun Play” interactive experience, along with a uniquely designed exclusive dexterous hand group control demonstration. These two featured scenario demonstrations immersively showcased the ultimate control performance and intelligent coordination capabilities of the self-developed dexterous hands, becoming one of the most popular highlights of the entire exhibition.
At the “Smart Hand Fun Play” interactive zone, the booth featured fun interactive experiences including joystick control, intelligent ball grabbing, and human-robot rock-paper-scissors. The dexterous hands could independently complete the full continuous sequence of target recognition, trajectory judgment, precise grasping, and stable placement.
The dexterous hand group control demonstration further showcased INSPIRE ROBOTS’ leading multi-device coordination technology capability. Through two core control methods—visual tracking and data glove teleoperation—it achieved matrix-level coordinated group control of multiple series and models of dexterous hands.
On-site discussions around commercial deployment scenarios for dexterous hands and humanoid robot industry development trends continued to heat up, with INSPIRE ROBOTS’ full-stack self-development and 10,000-unit mass-production practical experience providing high-quality insights for industry technological iteration and ecosystem development.
The ultimate value of self-developed technology lies in industrial implementation. At this WRC, INSPIRE ROBOTS joined hands with multiple quality robot partners to create the “Collaborative Empowerment · Integrated Machine Joint Real-Scenario Exhibition,” demonstrating in real scenarios the adaptation effects of dexterous hands with different humanoid robots and service robots.
From single-product technology output to whole-machine coordination and ecosystem co-building industrial empowerment, INSPIRE ROBOTS has always maintained an open posture, connecting upstream and downstream of the industrial chain to accelerate the large-scale popularization of humanoid robot end-effector dexterous manipulation.
The adaptation demonstrations at the exhibition verified the coordination foundation between dexterous hands and different complete-machine platforms; while the months-long “Energy Transfer” real-scenario challenges brought this capability from the exhibition booth into real scenarios. Starting from Milan, the dexterous hands traveled to the tea mountains of Fuding, the dragon boat racetrack of Bazhong, and the shores of Sayram Lake in Xinjiang, being tested in real scenarios and demonstrating stable gripping and rapid response capabilities in complex environments.
On August 22, the 2026 World Humanoid Robot Games officially opened in Beijing, with INSPIRE ROBOTS taking the “palm” in the critical moment of the opening ceremony’s finale segment “Intelligent Core Lighting.” INSPIRE dexterous hands, as the core execution terminal, will assist robots in completing the ceremony’s high-difficulty key actions, officially lighting up the Games and opening a new chapter in national-level robotics competitions.
As the officially designated dexterous hand hardware supporter for the Games, INSPIRE ROBOTS, relying on mature mass-production products, stable performance, and comprehensive technical services, helps participating robots overcome dexterous manipulation competition challenges, fully supporting teams in breaking through competitive bottlenecks and showcasing the hard-core strength of domestically produced dexterous manipulation technology.
Let us all look forward to August 22, witnessing the highlight moment of the Intelligent Core Lighting at the opening ceremony!
