About ChangingTek Robotics
Changing Tek develops end effectors and manipulation hardware for industrial automation and embodied-intelligence systems. Its catalogue spans parallel, collaborative and heavy-duty grippers, dexterous humanoid hands, integrated actuators and mobile manipulators. These products give robot builders a path from individual gripping components to complete mobile manipulation platforms.
The company is expanding its data-collection hardware alongside its established industrial grippers. UHand and YouCai capture tactile, visual and pose information for manipulation training, while newer adaptive hands and compact grippers target humanoid and precision-assembly applications. Changing Tek launched several new products during 2026, including the CTAG2F85 two-finger gripper and a hand capable of changing between left- and right-hand configurations.

ZhiXing Robotics announced the X2 as a dexterous hand designed to support adaptive switching between left- and right-hand configurations. The company positioned the launch as a step forward in intelligent and flexible robotic end effectors rather than a full robot launch. Public coverage around the release describes the product as part of ZhiXing's push into higher-performance manipulation hardware for humanoid and industrial automation use cases.

Xi'an Jiaotong-Liverpool University and ZhiXing Robotics unveiled a joint laboratory focused on dexterous manipulation and related robotics research. The collaboration was framed around industry-academia cooperation, technical R&D, and commercialization of research outcomes. The event reflects ZhiXing's effort to deepen its manipulation-tech base through formal university collaboration rather than a customer deployment announcement.

ZhiXing Robotics opened its Xi'an division in the Zhongke Remote Sensing Xi'an Spatial Information Technology Industrial Park. The company framed the opening as a strategic expansion into Northwest China rather than a product event. The move signals broader commercial and regional footprint-building around its robotics components and embodied-intelligence business.

At its Zhihuigu new-site relocation ceremony, ZhiXing Robotics announced completion of a B1 financing round worth tens of millions of RMB. The event also marked the company's move into a new site as part of its scale-up trajectory since its 2018 founding. Publicly surfaced snippets do not identify the B1 investors, so the round remains grounded without named investor rows here.

ZhiXing Robotics said it received the Chapek Annual Technology Innovation Product Award. The recognition was tied to the company's robotics-hand and manipulation-technology work rather than a full robot platform launch. This serves as an early external validation marker for the company's end-effector and intelligent-manipulation product direction.
