Founder Xiong Kun graduated from the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology Robotics Institute, participated in the founding of Tencent Robotics X, worked at IDEA Research and Inovance, and joined Agibot in 2024 to lead the dexterous hand business. The flagship OmniHand 3 Ultra-M, launched at ICRA 2026 on 2026-06-02 as the fourth product in under five months, fits 20 active degrees of freedom into 189.5 by 88.5 by 40 millimetres at 630 grams using full direct drive, and the sensing is the differentiator: a miniature visuotactile sensor in each fingertip plus over 300 three-dimensional tactile sensing points across the palm, single-sensor force resolution around 0.005 N, spatial resolution around 0.04 millimetres and sensing density of 50,000 per square centimetre.
