Gasgoo Munich-At the 2026 World Artificial Intelligence Conference (WAIC 2026), AGILINK took center stage at the Zhiyuan Robotics booth to unveil its full matrix of dexterous manipulation products. The display featured the DUET dual-layer embodied contact intelligence architecture and an interactive balloon-folding demonstration, presenting a complete technical ecosystem spanning dexterous hardware, tactile perception, and data loops.As an innovator in robotic dexterity, AGILINK remains fixated on the "last centimeter" of capability. The goal isn't just to enable robots to execute movements, but to understand contact, adapt to their environment, and master complex operations.Image Source: AGILINKOn the show floor, a robot equipped with AGILINK's OmniHand 3 dexterous hand successfully folded a balloon dog in a continuous motion. AGILINK is currently the only team in the world to publicly demonstrate this specific task.Unlike standardized tasks like grasping or carrying, folding a balloon dog is a quintessential long-sequence, contact-rich operation. The robot must not only plan continuous actions but also perceive contact states in real time, adjusting force and predicting slippage within milliseconds. Apply too much force, and the balloon bursts; too little, and it slips away. The entire process places extreme demands on dexterous manipulation capabilities.Powering this demonstration is AGILINK's proprietary DUET dual-layer embodied intelligence architecture. The upper layer handles long-sequence action planning and skill generation, while the lower layer manages real-time force control, tactile feedback, and slip prediction. These two layers collaborate in real time to execute complex tasks. DUET has already been validated across various dexterous hand platforms with 16 to 20 degrees of freedom (DOF), demonstrating strong cross-platform generalization.Beyond the balloon dog demonstration, AGILINK used the conference to showcase a full product matrix designed for diverse application scenarios, including:OmniHand 3 Ultra-M: A fully direct-drive flagship dexterous hand featuring 20 active degrees of freedom, 1:1 human hand sizing, and high-precision visuo-tactile perception, designed for high-performance dexterous manipulation research and development.OmniHand 3 Ultra-T: A cable-driven flagship dexterous hand that balances lightweight design, high degrees of freedom, and dynamic response, making it suitable for complex manipulation tasks.OmniHand 3: A general-purpose dexterous hand with individual unit deliveries exceeding 5,500.OmniHand 3 Lite: Featuring a compact, lightweight design tailored for semi-sized and smaller robots.OmniPicker 3: An industrial-grade embodied gripper designed for scenarios such as flexible manufacturing and logistics sorting.AGILINK's entire series of dexterous hands employs a unified SDK, a common control interface, and consistent reliability standards. This approach enables developers to achieve more efficient migration and collaboration across research validation, application development, and industrial deployment.Additionally, AGILINK unveiled a prototype glove integrating data collection and teleoperation capabilities. The device synchronously captures human hand motion, pose, and tactile information, facilitating more natural and efficient human-robot interaction. This prototype highlights AGILINK's ongoing efforts to refine its dexterous manipulation data infrastructure—building a complete loop from data collection and model training to practical application through real-world operation, feedback, and deployment.AGILINK's products have entered mass production, with cumulative deliveries surpassing 20,000 units. The company has also accumulated over 50,000 hours of real-world operational data continuously flowing back from deployment sites to feed architectural and product iteration. In the first quarter of 2026, AGILINK captured the top spot globally in dexterous hand market share.
