China-made electronic skin — a flexible tactile sensor that can cover dexterous
robotic hands and robot bodies and detect about 10 mg of pressure — is rapidly
becoming a mass-production standard as domestic humanoid robot commercialization
accelerates. A supplier reported sales rose tenfold YoY. The China
dexterous-hand market is expected to exceed 430,000 units by 2030. Cumulative
financing in the dexterous-hand sector surpassed 8 bln yuan as of July 2026, up
1,500% YoY.
