X Square Robot Launches TwinDEX to Bridge Robot-Free Data Collection and Dexterous Manipulation
Event summary
- X Square Robot introduced TwinDEX on September 2, 2026, a co-designed system for scalable dexterous manipulation.
- TwinDEX consists of a wearable data-collection device and a robotic end effector, both with a three-finger, nine-DoF architecture.
- The system demonstrated up to 5.3x higher effective throughput than on-robot teleoperation in data collection.
- TwinDEX was evaluated on complex tasks like cap twisting, toolbox latch opening, and a full chemistry experiment.
The big picture
X Square Robot's TwinDEX addresses a critical bottleneck in dexterous robotics: the scalability of data collection. By aligning wearable data collection with robotic deployment, the company aims to accelerate the development of general-purpose embodied AI models. This move positions X Square Robot as a key player in advancing robotics for real-world applications, particularly in logistics and home automation.
