Inspire Robots

A Beijing maker of dexterous hands and miniature electric linear actuators; its RH56 hand appears on many humanoid robots.

Inspire Robots was founded in 2016 in Beijing's Shijingshan district and specializes in miniature precision motion components. Its core product is a small linear electric actuator, which it then builds into five-fingered humanoid dexterous hands and electric parallel grippers. In its RH56 series of dexterous hands, each finger is driven by one small linear actuator through a linkage, giving a mid-range price and reliability that has made it a popular choice: it ships on humanoid robots such as Unitree's H1 and G1 and Fourier's GR1, and shows up frequently as the hand used in embodied-AI papers. The company says it has more than 2,000 customers and, as of 2025, had shipped over 10,000 dexterous hands; it raised a pre-A round in 2017 and a B+ round in 2023. At the World Robot Conference in August 2026, it launched the RH524J1 series, a 24-degree-of-freedom dexterous hand.

ExampleHumanoid-robot papers such as HumanPlus and OKAMI both used Inspire's 6-DoF dexterous hand as their experimental hardware.
