Zhou Yong, founder of LinkerBot, is aiming high: a world where everyone owns ten robots on average. His company claims to have shipped over 10,000 dexterous hands in just a few years, and the price is set to drop significantly.

The real challenge lies not just in building these robotic appendages but in making them affordable for mass adoption. With investors from the Chinese government to international venture capitalists backing their vision, LinkerBot seems well-positioned to dominate the market.

Zhou envisions a future where robots handle mundane tasks like cooking and cleaning, freeing humans up to focus on more creative pursuits. However, he doesn’t stop there; his ultimate goal is to revolutionize manufacturing with these hands, making China’s industry even more competitive globally.

The key to LinkerBot's success lies in their specialization—focusing solely on the hands while leaving the rest of the humanoid body to other manufacturers. This strategy allows them to avoid direct competition and maintain a significant price advantage in the market.

As these robotic hands become more prevalent, they could transform our workplaces and homes. But Zhou’s ambition doesn’t end there; he foresees a future where robots outnumber humans by 100 times.
