Shanghai, China – July 26, 2025 – The 2025 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC), a premier global gathering for AI innovation and governance, commenced today in Shanghai. Marking a significant stride in advanced robotics, Leadshine, a leading innovator in motion control and humanoid robot core components, made a powerful debut. The company proudly featured its advanced DH116S dexterous hand solution, alongside a comprehensive suite of hard-core technologies. This presentation immediately captured the attention of professional visitors and institutions, establishing Leadshine as a focal point at the exhibition.
At the Forefront: Leadshine’s DH116S Dexterous Hand and Full-Stack Humanoid Solutions
As a globally recognized provider of humanoid robot core components and solutions, Leadshine Intelligence presented live demonstrations and dynamic displays of its DH116S dexterous hand at WAIC 2025. This sophisticated solution has already undergone successful trials with dozens of clients, proving its readiness for high-volume, cost-effective, and highly reliable applications across various industrial and commercial sectors, including hospitality, entertainment, and logistics. The DH116S is particularly well-suited for high-dexterity applications that demand precise manipulation and robust sensory feedback.
The Leadshine DH116S dexterous hand offers an impressive array of core competitive advantages:
- High Degrees of Freedom: The DH116S boasts 6 active and 5 passive degrees of freedom, totaling 11 DoF. This complex kinematic structure allows for highly dexterous and human-like movements, crucial for grasping a wide variety of objects and performing intricate tasks.
- Precision Drive System: Powered by brushless coreless motors and a robust precision worm-gear drive system, the DH116S ensures smooth, quiet, and highly accurate operation. Its FOC (Field-Oriented Control) current loops and a force-position hybrid algorithm provide excellent control over force and position.
- Advanced Multimodal Perception: A key differentiator for the DH116S (Multimodal Perception Type) is its integrated 5 multimodal finger sensors + 1 palm 28-point sensor. These provide comprehensive, multi-dimensional haptic sensing, including normal force, tangential force, and force-direction feedback. This powerful perception capability enables the hand to intelligently and adaptively grasp various objects, including delicate or irregularly shaped items, greatly enhancing safety and precision.
- High-Speed Connectivity: The DH116S supports CAN FD / RS485 as standard. For applications demanding ultra-fast response, specific EtherCAT-enabled models (DH116SEC) offer 100MHz EtherCAT, enabling up to 100x faster real-time haptic feedback and motion control responsiveness.
- Robust Load Capacity & Lightweight Design: Weighing a mere 490g ± 5g (including sensors), the DH116S minimizes burden on robot arms, contributing to overall system agility and energy efficiency. Despite its light mass, it is capable of handling a full-hand payload of kg (especially in hook grip configurations) and a five-finger grip force of kg, ensuring stable performance across diverse material-handling tasks.
- High Reliability & Durability: Engineered for a 1-million-cycle gripping lifespan, the DH116S incorporates comprehensive protection modes (Current, Stall, Temperature) and features like built-in tactile sensors and soft-landing control, ensuring long-term, safe, and reliable operation.
- Versatile Control & Integration: Supports Position, Speed, Current, Hybrid, and Smooth control modes, and comes with extensive SDK support for Windows 10+, Linux, Ubuntu, ROS; C++/Python, facilitating easy integration and development for international engineers. It also offers 20 predefined gestures for rapid deployment and supports customization.
Advanced Core Components for Next-Generation Humanoid Robotics
Beyond its leading dexterous hand, Leadshine reinforced its position as a full-stack solution provider with the debut of new and advanced core components:
- FM3 Series High-End Frameless Torque Motors: Leadshine unveiled its third-generation FM3 series frameless motors. Leveraging Japanese high-precision winding and potting processes, this series features optimizations across its structure, electromagnetics, and manufacturing. It directly addresses the critical need for compactness and performance consistency in humanoid robots. The FM3 series achieves ultra-low cogging torque comparable to leading European and American counterparts while boosting torque density by an impressive 20%. This provides a more efficient, compact, and reliable power solution for robotic joints, crucial for high-performance motion.
- Humanoid Harmonic Joint Module Solution HJ2T Series: Building on the success of previous generations, the HJ2T series offers enhanced precision, rigidity, and reliability for robotic joints, streamlining robot design and assembly.
- Humanoid RV Joint Module Solution HRV2 Series: This new RV joint module series expands Leadshine's offerings, catering to different robotic joint requirements with high torque and accuracy, vital for robust humanoid robot limbs.
- Collaborative Joint Module Solution: Further demonstrating its versatility, Leadshine also presented a specialized collaborative joint module solution, designed for safe and efficient human-robot collaboration scenarios, an increasingly important aspect of future automation
Experiencing Precision and Perception: Dynamic Demonstrations at WAIC
The Leadshine booth featured interactive demonstration zones that captivated attendees, allowing them to experience the cutting-edge capabilities firsthand. Visitors actively controlled the DH116S dexterous hand, completing tasks like precise object manipulation and flexible grasping. The common feedback underscored the "precision and sensitivity" delivered by the hands, highlighting Leadshine's technological breakthroughs in force control, tactile feedback, and seamless motion.
