Announced October 7, 2026
What happened
AGILINK, a subsidiary of China's AgiBot, released a video of its 'OmniHand 3 Ultra' robot hand performing the full Suzhou embroidery process. It split silk thread into 16 strands, threaded a needle, secured the embroidery hoop, and twisted thread to stitch. An embroidery master personally taught it how to handle silk.
Why it matters
Precise manipulation of materials without a fixed shape is considered a difficult challenge for robot hands.
