Product Highlight - XM335-T323-T and HX5-D20
Posted by Mason Knittle on 11th Feb 2026
Advanced robotic manipulation demands precision, responsiveness, and compact power. We are excited to introduce the new DYNAMIXEL XM335-T323-T actuator and the fully articulated ROBOTIS HX5-D20 robotic hands, available in both Left (MLT) and Right (MRT) configurations.
The HX5 hands showcase the precision and control of the new XM335-T323-T actuator — a compact, high-resolution smart servo engineered specifically for dexterous robotic joints.
DYNAMIXEL XM335-T323-T Actuator
The XM335-T323-T is purpose-built for compact robotic joints such as fingers, wrists, and precision end-effectors. In dexterous systems, every millimeter and every gram matter. The XM335 delivers smooth motion, high positional accuracy, and advanced torque control in a compact footprint optimized for articulated fingers.

From Joint-Level Intelligence to Full-Hand Control
The future of robotic manipulation is not being built with oversized motors or complex external controllers. It is being built with compact, intelligent actuators that operate at the joint level. That is exactly what DYNAMIXEL enables. From university humanoid labs to cutting-edge physical AI startups, engineers rely on DYNAMIXEL because it removes friction between idea and execution. The XM335-T323-T delivers precision sensing, torque control, and smart communication in a form factor small enough for true finger articulation. When that same intelligence scales across 20 degrees of freedom in the HX5-D20, you are no longer experimenting with dexterity. You are deploying it.
This is not just another actuator release. It is a foundational technology for robots that can grasp, feel, adapt, and interact with the world with human-like control.
If you are serious about building high-performance robotic hands, humanoids, or advanced manipulation systems, the XM335-T323-T and HX5-D20 are more than components. They are your competitive advantage.
