Choho’s CHOHO Hand robot hand rated 8/10 by humanoid.guide; priced at $5,000

On November 5, 2026, humanoid.guide featured the CHOHO Hand robot hand from Choho Industrial (Qingdao Choho Industrial Co., Ltd.). According to the publication, the product was introduced in January 2026, is priced at $5,000 and is in production. The publication gave it an overall rating of 8/10, with scores of 4/5 for degrees of freedom and strength.

humanoid.guide presented the CHOHO Hand as a product priced at $5,000 and in production, indicating a stage of commercialization beyond a concept-stage announcement. However, the publication’s 8/10 rating and individual 4/5 scores are not measured specifications, so the price and ratings alone do not establish its actual work capabilities, durability or operating status.

The key point is not the rating itself, but that the CHOHO Hand was presented as a product in production with a stated price. humanoid.guide gave it an overall rating of 8/10 and scores of 4/5 for degrees of freedom and strength, while stating that these are not measured values for the number of joints or gripping force. The scores therefore cannot be treated as quantitative proof of the mechanism’s specifications or work capabilities. The $5,000 price is also a listed product price, not evidence of sales volume or operating results. The publication said Choho Industrial has about 30 years of experience manufacturing industrial chains and introduced the CHOHO Hand in January 2026. However, the information provided does not establish how that chain-manufacturing experience contributed to the hand’s design or performance, or what its component configuration and manufacturing processes are. The product can be viewed as an effort to connect an existing manufacturing base with the commercialization of robot components, but further information would be needed to substantiate technology transfer or mass-production advantages. In an article published on November 3, 2026, [Physical AI News reported that AgiBot unveiled its foundation model GO-3 Preview, which ranked first on three embodied AI benchmarks](/en/news/agibot-unveils-foundation-model-go-3-preview-leads-three-embodied-ai-b-a2ab03). [Another article covered a proposal by Zhiyuan, reported by leaderobot.com, for Worken, a metric for measuring robot activity](/en/news/agibot-proposes-worken-metric-for-robot-activity-leaderobot-com-report-0adc12). The CHOHO Hand rating concerns a hardware product, unlike those articles, and illustrates that model performance, activity levels and hand specifications cannot be represented by a single metric. Assessing its suitability for real-world deployment would require clearly defined specifications or test results, including the number of axes, gripping force, durability, target tasks and operating conditions; the article provides no such details. The statement that the product is in production should also be distinguished from information confirming shipment numbers or continued operation. Whether measurement conditions and real-world operating data are made public will be key to connecting the price and rating score to practical utility.
