## Summary

Boya Intelligence founder Liu Xin says China shipped nearly 20,000 dexterous hands last year, and most sit idle after appearing in humanoid robot demonstrations. He argues models may reach a capability inflection point before hardware does, and that Boya's first dexterous hand, the 22-degree-of-freedom Gaoshan S1, uses mainly tendon drive with a direct-drive hybrid.
