A stunning piece of engineering!!

1X unveils the new humanoid hand for NEO

- 25 degrees of freedom: 22 fully actuated in the fingers and palm, plus 3 at the wrist.
- The DoF are distributed anatomically rather than evenly, deliberately biased toward a thumb that genuinely opposes the fingers.
- In-house tendon-driven, quasi-direct-drive running low gear ratios of ~5:1 to 15:1 vs the typical 100:1–200:1.
- Motors live in the forearm and pull tendons through the wrist. This keeps the hand light and its inertia low while producing high forces.

Sensing

- All 25 DoF are natively force-controlled and fully backdrivable. Every joint doubles as a force sensor.
- Very important, closed-loop proprioception: it always knows its own pose and effort without looking.
- Tactile skin across the fingertips and surfaces measuring contact and shear. This helps with adaptive gripping in real time.

Safety and durability

- IP68 waterproof and food-safe, so it can wash its own hands.
- Compliant by construction: the low gear ratios, tendon drive, and low distal inertia let external impacts safely backdrive the fingers. It yields when hit by a hammer or caught in a drawer.
- Full finger assemblies validated to millions of cycles.

Manufacturing

- Deep vertical integration: in-house motors, custom electronics, and tendon systems.
- Hundreds built already, with capacity to produce 10,000 hands this year.

NEO’s Hands
An API to the Physical World

[Bernt Bornich @BerntBornich]

Introducing NEO’s 25 Degrees of Freedom, tendon-driven hands — nearing or surpassing human-level dexterity, strength, speed, and reliability.

For seventy years, robotics worked around the hand problem. The humanoid bet is the reverse: it lives or dies at the fingertips.

Ich habe heute versucht, die Chatkontrolle zu stoppen.

Am Wochenende mussten Sibylle Berg und ich Parlamentspräsidentin Metsola schriftlich mitteilen, dass das Durchprügeln der Chatkontrolle im Eilverfahren leider gegen die Geschäftsordnung des EU-Parlaments verstößt. Während Metsola der interessierten Presse daraufhin (fälschlicherweise) mitteilte, dass das schon alles seine Richtigkeit habe, warten wir immer noch auf ihre Antwort.

Deshalb wollte ich es ihr heute bei der Eröffnungssitzung in Straßburg noch einmal erklären. Und musste erstaunt feststellen, dass die Präsidentin doch Regeln kennt: Exakt nach 60 Sekunden hat sie mir das Mikrophon abgestellt. (regelkonform, wird aber selten gemacht)

Dabei hätte ich noch einiges zu sagen gehabt: "Frau Präsidentin, Sie wachen nach Artikel 22 über dieses Regelwerk (mit der ausgedruckten Geschäftsordnung wedelnd) - erklären Sie den Eilantrag für unzulässig. Wir sind hier schließlich nicht auf Malta! Die aktuelle Fassung der Geschäftsordnung überreiche ich Ihnen gerne persönlich. In der MEP-Bar."

Wie es nun weitergeht? Morgen wird über das Eilverfahren abgestimmt, obwohl diese Abstimmung gar nicht stattfinden dürfte. Wenn der Antrag erfolgreich ist, kommt die Chatkontrolle Donnerstagmittag zur Abstimmung ins Plenum. Um sie noch zu stoppen, müssten 361 Abgeordnete - eine qualifizierte Mehrheit - DAGEGEN stimmen.
Die schlechte Nachricht: Donnerstag ist der letzte Tag vor der Sommerpause und viele MEPs dürften bereits auf dem Weg in den Urlaub sein. Ein Schelm, wer Böses denkt bei dieser Terminierung... Smiley!

Wenn die Chatkontrolle durchgeht, dürfen die Plattformen (also die US-Tech-Bros) wieder & weiterhin fröhlich & ganz legal Ihre Nachrichten scannen. Schreiben Sie also gefälligst etwas unterhaltsamer in den kommenden Wochen... ZwinkerSmiley!

@arcamids Hey! Thank you for always keeping your hand on pulse on any updates with Chainlink! Always interesting to follow.
What you thinking of in terms of pricing and market cap in the following years with token releases finishing in 2029ish and the scale its developing.

[Boid @_Boid_]

@BUIDLONLY Hey! is there a difference in price for the data streams paid in USD or paid in LINK tokens, and are LINK tokens even an option to pay for the service?

[David Monroe Rashid @Davidmrashid]

@arcamids Have you noticed that availabke token amoubt just increased from 134mill to 138 cpuple of days ago? $LINK

[Boid @_Boid_]

@Menneuw @chainlink Hey! How come the available amount incteased by 4 millions couple of days ago from 134mill?

[Boid @_Boid_]

@40k_Marine Somehow just 4 million tokens were added to the whole period out of nowhere, hmmm

[Boid @_Boid_]

@ARiHBARi Hey, im tracking these stats for a while as well, but it just recently out of nowhere added 4 mill of tokens to whole period of tracking

DID YOU KNOW??

El Niño was named by Peruvian fishermen who noticed the ocean mysteriously warming up around Christmas, naming the climate monster after the newborn Christ child (El Niño, meaning "The Boy").

​What started as a local seasonal observation is actually the largest, most disruptive climate anomaly on Earth. It completely flips the planet's atmospheric circulation upside down, triggering a domino effect capable of sparking droughts, fueling massive hurricanes, and rearranging global economic markets. Let me explain 👇🏾👇🏾

​1. What It Is (The Great Oceanic Slosh):
​Under normal planetary conditions, strong trade winds blow fiercely from east to west across the Pacific Ocean, pushing sun-warmed surface water toward Asia and Australia.

​This creates a massive pool of warm water around Indonesia, while cold, nutrient-rich water wells up from the deep ocean along the coast of South America to replace it.

During an El Niño event, these easterly trade winds suddenly weaken or completely collapse. Without the wind pushing it forward, that massive, thousands-of-miles-wide pool of hot water sloshes backward across the Pacific, pinning the cold water down and blanketing the South American coast in hot water.

​2. The Atmospheric Flip( Altering the Jet Stream):
​When that massive pool of oceanic heat shifts positions, it acts like a giant boulder dropped into the middle of the global atmosphere, permanently warping the path of high-altitude jet streams.

​The Pacific jet stream moves further south and straightens out. This atmospheric shift changes global weather patterns instantly. Areas that are normally dry and arid, like the southern United States and the coast of Peru, are suddenly slammed by torrential rain and catastrophic flooding.

Conversely, regions that rely on heavy rains, like northern Australia, Indonesia, and parts of India, are plunged into severe, blistering droughts that dry up major agricultural crops.

​3. The Invisible Global Economic Shockwave:
​Because El Niño dictates global weather, it functions as a massive, hidden economic driver that directly impacts the global cost of living.

When El Niño triggers severe droughts across Asia and South America, it cripples the global supply of delicate commodities like coffee, cocoa, sugar, and rice, causing grocery prices to spike worldwide. Along the coast of Peru, the warm El Niño water blocks the upwelling of cold, nutrient-rich currents.

Without these nutrients, microscopic plankton die off, causing the collapse of massive anchovy and fish populations. This instantly bankrupts local fishing fleets and disrupts the global marine food supply chain.

​4. Super El Niño Residuals:
​Recent climate scientists and meteorologists are closely monitoring the ocean's transition phase following a series of highly volatile, intense thermal cycles.

​In 2026, global weather models are grappling with the long-term aftermath of elevated baseline ocean temperatures.

When an El Niño forms in an already warming global ocean, it supercharges the atmosphere with unprecedented amounts of thermal energy.

This increases the severity of late-season tropical cyclones in the Pacific while suppressing Atlantic hurricane development through high vertical wind shear, forcing emergency management agencies to completely rewrite their seasonal disaster readiness playbooks.

​FINALLY!
El Niño is a stark reminder of how interconnected our planet truly is. A simple weakening of winds over the Pacific Ocean can trigger a physical chain reaction that causes floods in California, wildfires in Australia, and economic inflation at your local grocery store.

Hopefully you've learnt something new today?

Cheers 🥂 🙂
