Gasgoo Munich- LinkerBot and OriginFlow recently signed a strategic partnership agreement.Under the agreement, the two parties will focus on four core areas: joint research on data acquisition, deep system adaptation, commercial operations, and the exploration of industry standards. By combining LinkerBot’s extensive industrial experience in dexterous hand hardware and real-world interaction datasets with OriginFlow’s cutting-edge technology in neural motion interfaces, multimodal data parsing, and motion generation models, the pair aim to build a robust data infrastructure.LinkerBot’s mature hardware and standardized data collection systems offer a ready-made platform for validating neural motion interfaces. Meanwhile, the action and tactile data generated by OriginFlow’s electromyography (EMG) decoding can be mapped directly to the dexterous hands, driving a deeper fusion of neural signals, data infrastructure, and robotic hardware.The deal marks a strategic shift from isolated technical exchanges to a long-term, tripartite synergy encompassing hardware, data infrastructure, and intelligent algorithms. Looking ahead, the partners aim to evolve the data paradigm for embodied intelligence from merely "capturing motion" to "understanding full physical interactions" — solidifying the data foundation needed to scale dexterous robotic operations in China.Image Credit: OriginFlowAs a leading player in the dexterous hand sector, LinkerBot has established a solid industrial foundation in high-degree-of-freedom hardware, control systems, and mass production. Its Linker Hand series spans the industry’s three mainstream drive technologies—link, direct, and tendon—with a broad price range from 6,000 to 100,000 yuan. The products are already widely deployed by top general-purpose robot manufacturers and leading research institutions worldwide.Established in August 2025, OriginFlow is focused on overcoming data bottlenecks in fine manipulation. To that end, the company pioneered the NeuroScale data acquisition paradigm, leveraging neural electromyography (EMG) sensing technology to unlock critical physical interaction data.OriginFlow has already begun advancing commercial deployment across industrial manufacturing and home service scenarios. In the industrial sector, it is partnering with top-tier global manufacturers to develop embodied data collection applications. For home services, the company has confirmed plans to work with partners like 58 Group to gather vast amounts of human operation data, aiming to build a skill database specifically for housekeeping robots.
