Boya Intelligence founder Liu Xin proposed the judgment that models may reach a capability inflection point earlier than hardware, at which point what limits robot operation will be the body rather than the brain. When Leiphone reported this view on October 30, 2026, it also mentioned that Boya's first dexterous hand, Gaoshan S1, has 22 degrees of freedom and adopts a hybrid drive consisting mainly of tendon drive, supplemented by gear direct drive plus screw-rod linkage, and stated that the company is the world's first dexterous hand company to use a tendon-drive plus screw-rod parallel wrist configuration. Liu Xin also mentioned that last year domestic dexterous hand shipments were about 20,000 units, most of which were left idle after being used for humanoid robot performances. At present, this judgment has no subsequent factual developments.

Boya Intelligence's Liu Xin: After GPT-6, Hardware Will Hold Robots Back
Liu Xin, founder of Boya Intelligence, judges that models may reach the capability inflection point earlier than hardware, and by then what limits robot operation will be the body rather than the brain. Boya's first dexterous hand, Gaoshan S1, has 22 degrees of freedom and uses a hybrid drive that is primarily tendon-driven, supplemented by direct gear drive and screw-rod linkages, and the company claims to be the world's first dexterous hand company to use a tendon-driven + screw parallel wrist configuration. Liu Xin also mentioned that domestic dexterous hand shipments last year were about 20,000 units, most of which were left idle after being used in humanoid robot performances.
