Linkerbot is a Beijing-based robotics company specializing in dexterous robotic hands, the sophisticated, multi-fingered end-effectors that allow robots to grasp, manipulate and handle objects with human-like skill. As the humanoid-robot industry races forward, the hand has emerged as one of the hardest and most critical components: a robot is only as useful as what it can do with its fingers, and high-degree-of-freedom (DoF) hands that approach human dexterity are extremely difficult to design and manufacture at scale.
Linkerbot has turned that bottleneck into a business. By December 2025 the company had shipped its 10,000th dexterous hand and become, by its own account, the only company mass-producing more than 1,000 high-DoF hands per month, with peak monthly shipments exceeding 4,000 units. That manufacturing capability has given it a commanding position, which it describes as over 80% share of the global high-DoF dexterous-hand segment, supplying the component many robot builders cannot make themselves.
The company positions itself as the trusted dexterity partner to leading humanoid robot manufacturers and to industrial giants, naming customers such as Samsung and Siemens. Beyond selling hands, Linkerbot is working to build a full-stack platform for robot dexterity, combining hardware with the software and control needed to make dexterous manipulation reliable and deployable across applications.
Linkerbot's rise has been rapid and well-funded. Since April 2025 it has raised $150 million, including a Series B+ round that valued the company at around $3 billion, with backing from heavyweight investors including Alibaba's Ant Group, HongShan Group, Bank of China Asset Management and Fosun Capital, and reports of an even higher target valuation in its next raise. The capital funds expanded production, continued R&D on higher-performance hands and development of its dexterity platform, cementing Linkerbot as a key arms supplier, quite literally, to the global robotics boom.
