Xiaomi Unveils New CyberOne Bionic Hand

Xiaomi has announced a new bionic hand for its CyberOne humanoid robot.

What happened

On March 30, 2026, Xiaomi announced a new bionic hand for its CyberOne humanoid robot, with a major redesign of the robot’s hand. Details were published on Xiaomi Technology’s official WeChat account. The hand’s volume was reduced by 60%, bringing it to a 1:1 scale with a human hand. Its active degrees of freedom increased by 83%, and it is equipped with approximately 8,200 square millimeters of tactile sensors across the palm.

Why it matters

According to Xiaomi, the new bionic hand can sense touch across the entire palm, making it suited to humanoid robot manipulation research that requires more precise assessment of where an object is grasped and how contact changes. Xiaomi also said that reducing the hand’s volume by 60% compared with the previous version and matching the size of a human hand at a 1:1 scale is intended to provide conditions for transferring movements learned in simulation to real hardware.
