NEO humanoid robot gets new hands with 25 degrees of freedom to build LEGO, catch balls

- Whoa, that's mega-illegal. 1X just dropped the NEO’s new 25-DOF hands, and the dexterity is off the charts. Tendon-driven, force-controlled, and IP68 waterproof—this thing can assemble LEGOs, catch balls, and even wash itself. It’s not just moving; it’s feeling. With ±0.2mm precision and real-time tactile feedback, hardware limits are gone. Now, AI training data is the only bottleneck. Mass production is already rolling out of that California factory, churning out 10k hands a year. I’ll swap that node in twelve minutes to get my hands on one. This is the physical layer of AI finally waking up. No more clunky grippers; this is human-level manipulation, ready for the home or the factory floor. The future isn’t coming; it’s being built, right now.
