01

Build the world's leading humanoid hand

02

Set the global standard for industrial-grade humanoid manipulation

03

Make humanoid robots a real productivity driver in global industry

Our Approach: Physical Intelligence

SHR hands are different. Using Physical AI – the convergence of embodied learning, real-time simulation, and adaptive control – our systems develop intuitive manipulation skills that transfer from virtual training to real-world execution.

This means hands that adapt, generalize, and improve with every interaction.

"Physical AI isn't a feature – it's the foundation of everything we build."

🔄

Sim-to-Real Transfer

We train in NVIDIA Omniverse and MuJoCo – millions of grasp variations, edge cases, and failure modes – before a single physical test.

🏋️

Continuous Learning in Robotic Gyms

Our 15 global Robotic Gyms aren't showrooms – they're training grounds. Every interaction generates data. Every deployment improves the model.

🧠

Generalization, Not Programming

Traditional automation requires reprogramming for every new task. Our hands generalize: train once on manipulation primitives, deploy across industries.

Technical Capabilities

Degrees of Freedom

Up to 20 DOF for human-like dexterity

Tactile Feedback

Integrated sensing for force-adaptive grasping

Training Infrastructure

15 Robotic Gyms generating real-world data

Simulation Stack

NVIDIA Omniverse + MuJoCo integration

Deployment Speed

From sim-trained model to production in weeks

Physical AI isn't a feature – it's the foundation. Every hand we build, every algorithm we train, every deployment we execute moves us closer to a world where humanoid robots aren't tools, but intelligent collaborators in every industry.

Every day, industries lose billions to tasks that humans shouldn't do – repetitive, dangerous, inefficient. Traditional automation can't solve this.

We're building the solution: humanoid hands powered by Physical AI that learn, adapt, and scale across every industry on the planet.

And we need the people who will define it.
