Tesollo is moving robotic hands from demonstration hardware toward mass-production quality

Tesollo announced on April 23, 2026 that it is working with Daesung Hi-Tech to secure mass-production quality for robotic hands. The Korean robotic-hand company selected Daesung as its inspection-equipment partner, with the two companies planning automated quality inspection systems for robotic hands and multi-joint grippers.

Tesollo was founded in January 2019 and is led by CEO and founder Young-Jin Kim, whose robotics background is central to the company's end-effector focus. A 2025 company profile lists Kim as founder and CEO and describes Tesollo as an end-effector and robot automation company built around robotic grippers, multi-joint hands, and automation systems.

The event is less about a single new hand than about the production problem behind dexterous manipulation. Humanoid hands and multi-joint grippers combine actuators, sensors, mechanical joints, electronics, and control systems inside a small form factor. A prototype can look impressive in a demo, but production customers need repeatability: each unit has to move, grip, sense, and survive within acceptable tolerances.

Tesollo says the partnership will support inspection and quality assurance for products supplied to the global market. The company currently exports multi-joint gripper products, including a 20-degree-of-freedom humanoid robotic hand, to 17 countries. It also says its 3-finger multi-joint gripper has moved beyond research settings into production sites, where it is used for gripping and transfer tasks involving irregular objects with inconsistent shapes and positions.

Daesung Hi-Tech brings ultra-precision machining, high-rigidity structural design, and automation-equipment experience. That makes the partnership a manufacturing-readiness move rather than a pure sales announcement. The companies plan to build pilot equipment first, then expand the inspection approach across Tesollo's lineup of humanoid hands and multi-joint grippers.

The competitive field includes dexterous-hand and gripper alternatives such as Shadow Robot, Schunk, Robotiq, Wonik Robotics' Allegro Hand, and humanoid OEMs building hands internally. Tesollo's distinction in this event is the quality system around the hand. It is trying to make robotic hands manufacturable enough for industrial customers, not only expressive enough for research videos.

The collaboration positions Tesollo inside one of the hardest bottlenecks in humanoid and manipulation robotics: component reliability at scale. If dexterous hands are going to leave research labs and appear in production workcells, quality inspection becomes part of the product. Tesollo is betting that robotic-hand competitiveness will come from repeatable manufacturing and measured reliability, not only from the number of joints a hand can advertise.
