Description
The Kyber Labs Hand tries to give robots natural and reliable grasping. It shows off impressive control: in a recent demo, the hand spun a nut onto a bolt at human-level speed — in real time, no tricks. Because it’s backdrivable and torque-transparent, the hand senses resistance from the object. So when a finger touches even a light feather, it stops instantly.

Moreover, Kyber built the hand to be accessible. They aim for a hardware design that costs “in the hundreds of dollars, not thousands.” The result: a hand that strikes a balance between dexterity, robustness, and low cost. It could serve as a practical tool in real-world manufacturing, research, or robotics experiments.
