LinkerBot is a Chinese maker of high-degree-of-freedom robotic hands, the only one mass-producing more than 1,000 high-DoF hands a month (capacity over 4,000/month across four factories) and claiming over 80% of global high-DoF hand volume; it shipped its 10,000th hand in December 2025 and targets 50,000-100,000 units in 2026. Customers include Samsung and Siemens plus research at Stanford, MIT, Cambridge, and Tsinghua, and it raised across four rounds in eight months (Series B ~$200M in February 2026, Series B+ at a $3B valuation in late April 2026, and a reported $6B round being sought). Revenue and the company-disclosed market-share figure are unverified, and the founding year is disputed (2019 vs 2023).
