Botyard snags angel round to commercialize dexterous hand
Unlike traditional rigid robotic arms, Botyard relies primarily on tendon-based hybrid actuation. The soft nature of the cables allows safer, more compliant human-robot interaction.

Xynova plans to showcase the product publicly for the first time at the ICRA 2026 robotics conference in Vienna on June 2.

Xynova is currently ramping up production at a new facility and expects annual capacity to exceed 10,000 high-degree-of-freedom robotic hands and 200,000 micro linear actuators by the end of 2026.
