GENTO, the embodied-robotics brand of China’s Tianji Intelligence, presented its in-house 21-degree-of-freedom dexterous-hand prototype at CoRL 2026 in Austin. The company said this was the hand’s first public unveiling.

The hand has five active degrees of freedom in the thumb and four in each other finger. The company says its linkage-driven design is intended to address backlash, impact and overload damage, limited backdrivability and the challenge of delivering fingertip force within a compact finger.

The prototype weighs 750 grams excluding cables and measures 200 by 96 by 45 millimetres, according to the release. These are company specifications, not independently evaluated results.

NVIDIA also demonstrated its GR00T 2 model on a custom Tianji Marvin Pro dual-arm platform fitted with two dexterous hands. The release says one demonstration used human hand-motion recordings to transfer a two-handed task; it does not report a commercial deployment or independent performance evaluation.
