Supplier
Spun out of Tsinghua University, Robot Era develops full-stack humanoid hardware and embodied AI in Beijing. Its STAR1 and L7 bipeds hold speed records for legged locomotion, while the twelve-DoF direct-drive XHAND1 and the ERA-42 vision-language-action model give the platforms industrial-grade manipulation dexterity.

FAQ
Why does the overseas customer list matter?
It is the strongest third-party validation available in this segment: named US/UK robotics companies integrating the hand implies working export logistics, English docs and a support SLA. Ask for the same SLA those customers get.
Fully-actuated vs underactuated — worth it here?
XHAND1 drives every joint independently, which is what manipulation-learning and in-hand reorientation work needs. If you only grasp known objects, a cheaper underactuated hand will do.
