Positioning

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.
