Speaker
  • Jia Xiaoyou Jia Xiaoyou Linkerbot Co-Founder & Design Director

    She is a recipient of the 2025 German Red Dot Product Design Award and was honored with the "AI Nomination" at the BRICS Women’s Entrepreneurship Competition. As the Co-Founder and Design Director of Dexterous Heart, Skillful Hands (Beijing) Technology Co., Ltd., she has led the design of a dexterous hand prototype that has achieved remarkable milestones.

    The prototype won the championship in the dexterous hand category of the Zhongguancun Bionic Robot Competition and was recognized as a Top 10 AI Innovation at the 2024 Zhongguancun Forum. Its applications span globally, with deployments in prestigious institutions such as:

    ·Tsinghua University’s Brain-Inspired Computing Research Center
    ·Peking University’s School of Life Sciences and Frontiers Science Center for Computational Research
    ·University College London (UCL) Department of Computer Science
    ·International leading universities including Stanford, MIT, Oxford, Cambridge, and Deakin University

    On the industrial front, her design innovations have been adopted by research platforms like the Beijing Academy of Artificial Intelligence, Microsoft Research, and Tencent Research. Collaborations have also been established with industry leaders such as Tianlian Robotics, Ruishi Technology, Huawei, Xiaomi, Foxconn, and Samsung.

    The project has secured over hundreds of millions of RMB in funding from renowned investors, including Sequoia Capital, Ant Group, and CICC Capital. Its influence extends to mainstream media, with features on CCTV programs like China’s Intangible Cultural Heritage, The Craftsmanship of China, and Reading China, as well as Hubei TV’s AI Robot Conference. These achievements highlight her exceptional ability to integrate technology with cross-disciplinary design influence.

Content Introduction

Imagine a robotic hand that can not only precisely grasp an egg and deftly pick up a thin sheet but also "feel" the softness or hardness of an object—just like a real hand. This is no longer science fiction but an emerging reality. What we once perceived as cold, rigid machinery is now evolving into a warm partner capable of understanding our intentions and responding to our touch.

In this sharing session, you will witness how the Red Dot Award 2025-winning dexterous hand pushes technological boundaries: performing delicate manipulations in industrial manufacturing beyond human capability, offering more humane assistance in rehabilitation medicine, and achieving precise operations in extreme environments for scientific exploration. This is not merely a technological breakthrough but a revolution about "touch"—when machines begin to comprehend sensation, our relationship with them will be fundamentally transformed.
