[Didier Vançon @didier_vancon]

After 5.5 years of fully independent and secret research and development, here is the UM1-Evo hand.
Designed to push the boundaries of humanoid robotics and next-generation prosthetics, the UM1-Evo aims to overcome the "uncanny valley" by combining mechanical performance with natural visual aesthetics.
⚙️ Key Specs:
- 24 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) and 25 actuators.
- Full integration within the real size and weight of a human forearm (1.7 kg / 3.7 lbs).
- Advanced anatomical kinematics featuring true thumb opposition and finger convergence towards the anatomical snuffbox.
- Total relaxation at rest for a natural posture (zero power consumption).
- Grip force demonstrated at 8 kg (17.6 lbs), with a future target of up to 15 kg (33 lbs).
- Engineered from scratch: from biomechanical study to software programming, including the creation of custom CNC manufacturing machines.

@elonmusk Like your Tesla Roadster, people believed my UM1-Evo biomechanical arm was AI-generated.

"Robots execute, elegance humanizes them." 🦾

The robotics industry struggles with uncanny, rigid hands. Meet UM1: a biomimetic robotic hand solving the anatomical fluidity problem.

UM1 biomechanical Robotic Arm (5.5 years of R&D):
⚙️ 24 DoF / 25 Actuators
🧵 Tendon-Driven & Full Release System
💻 Custom 3D Hand Script & Wireless Control

Is this the next step for humanoid robotics?

[Space and Technology @spaceandtech_]

UM1-Evo is a biomimetic robotic hand created by French inventor Didier Vançon after 5.5 years of independent research.

It weighs 1.7 kg and features 25 motors and 24 degrees of freedom to replicate the complex movements of a human hand.

The system could be used in humanoid robots, prosthetics, AI training, and remote operations.

@LeoKharon Merci Léo. C'est une étape à laquelle il faut que je me penche en effet.

@sourceryy @adcock_brett @Figure_robot I invite you to take a look at the new French biomechanical hand, UM1-Evo.This is proof that the tendon system remains, for now, the best compromise between strength and dexterity. A routing and electrical harness management system allows for quick assembly and disassembly.
