Darker bar: ahead of the other company on that measure.
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).

Tesollo is a South Korean maker of dexterous robotic hands (the 20-DoF DG-5F-M flagship and the lower-cost DG-5F-S with in-house actuators), on a gripper revenue base since 2019. It initiated an IPO process in July 2026, which would be the first pure-play hands listing, and integrated XELA uSkin tactile sensing shown at CES 2026, with demos at ICRA 2026. Revenue, the IPO venue and timing, and humanoid OEM design wins are open; its own coverage notes no hand maker is near a certified 10,000-hour mean-time-between-repairs.
