BOSTON, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — BrainCo’s newly released Revo 2 dexterous hand is redefining the industry standard with a set of remarkable figures: a weight of 383g (about six eggs), a length of 16 cm (comparable to a human female hand), and a grip force of 50N, capable of lifting up to 20kg. This achieves a grip-to-weight ratio of 52.6, showcasing outstanding performance among peers.

With the rapid development of the humanoid robot industry, dexterous hands—as a core component—have long faced a technical challenge: how to balance lightweight design with high load-bearing performance.

This breakthrough is not accidental. Through systematic innovation in biomimetic joint optimization, precision transmission mechanisms, and overall lightweight design, BrainCo has achieved lightweight performance while integrating a 3D tactile sensing system, which can accurately perceive an object’s hardness, texture, and direction of force, and even distinguish the distance when approaching the object.

It is worth noting that tactile functions typically add about 30% more weight, but BrainCo, through innovative integration technology, has broken through technical barriers in materials science, transmission efficiency, and sensor integration, ensuring that tactile sensing and lightweight design coexist perfectly.

This enables Revo 2 not only to “grip” objects but also to “feel” them, easily performing high-difficulty tasks such as lighting a match.

From an application perspective, Revo 2’s operating noise is controlled below 50 decibels, quieter than typical office background noise.

At the same time, the product is compatible with various types of professional gloves on the market, and remains as flexible as barehanded operation even when wearing anti-puncture gloves.

BrainCo has also released a complete SDK development package, supporting EtherCAT and wide-voltage features, significantly reducing the difficulty of developing customized scenarios.

As the humanoid robot market booms, demand for dexterous hands as core components will also grow.

The launch of Revo 2 is propelling the dexterous hand industry into a new stage of “lightweight and high-efficiency” development, providing key technical support for humanoid robots to evolve toward “human-like” manipulation.

Building on years of expertise in developing prosthetic limbs for individuals with disabilities, BrainCo has established a strong technological foundation, which now serves as the base for its strategic expansion into embodied intelligence with the launch of this advanced dexterous hand.

VIENNA, Austria, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Bybit, the world’s second-largest cryptocurrency exchange by trading volume, is advancing its European expansion. Bybit EU Group took this next step with the formal application submission for a license under the Austrian implementation act of the Markets in Financial Instruments Directive (MiFID II) through one of its Austrian entities, Bybit X GmbH.

As a licensed investment firm, Bybit X would be permitted to offer regulated derivatives products — including futures and options — to clients across the European Economic Area (EEA). This allows an expansion of the current offering of the bybit.eu platform beyond the crypto-spot services currently covered by the MiCAR authorization of Bybit EU GmbH. This marks the next major step for European expansion after successfully securing the MiCAR license in May 2025.

Bybit founded Bybit EU Group with its headquarters in Vienna, and officially launched its MiCAR-compliant platform, bybit.eu, in July 2025. Since then, Bybit EU has been gaining strong momentum by rolling out innovative features such as spot margin trading with up to 10x leverage, partnering with Circle to strengthen USDC adoption in Europe, introducing its new Bybit Lite app, Bybit Card program and increasing the number of trading pairs to enhance user engagement.

“Regulatory clarity is the key to establishing Europe as one of the most forward-thinking regions globally when it comes to crypto-assets, and we are proud that with Bybit X, our Bybit EU Group has submitted an investment firm license application to the Austrian Financial Market Authority, FMA, as local regulator,” added Mazurka Zheng, Managing Director and CEO of Bybit EU.

“This license will allow Bybit EU Group to expand its services in the EU through Bybit X and Bybit EU and will make it possible to offer derivatives such as futures and options on the bybit.eu platform. We see this as a major boost to our presence in the EEA. Our mission is clear: to provide the full range of crypto-focused services to our European users in the safest and most compliant way possible.”

Bybit X’s license application reflects its commitment to regulatory-first growth in one of the world’s most advanced financial markets. Once such investment firm license is granted, Bybit EU Group aims to provide European clients with a broader suite of products, reinforcing its position as a leader in crypto innovation.

SEOUL, South Korea, Sept. 5, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — At the European Society of Cardiology (ESC) Congress 2025, held in Madrid from August 29 to September 1, Sky Labs presented new clinical findings on CART BP pro, its cuffless, ring-type blood pressure monitor. The device demonstrated consistent accuracy even when the arm was positioned below heart level, meeting the rigorous validation requirements set by the European Society of Hypertension (ESH).

The ESH recommends six validation tests for cuffless blood pressure devices, namely the static test for absolute accuracy, the device position test for robustness against hydrostatic pressure, the treatment test for accuracy in detecting blood pressure decreases, the awake–asleep test for changes across circadian patterns, the exercise test for increases during physical activity, and the recalibration test for long-term cuff calibration stability.

Accuracy Across Positions

On August 29, Professor Jihoon Kim of Samsung Medical Center presented “Assessing the accuracy of a ring-type cuffless blood pressure device across postures”. The session was chaired by Professor Seok Min Kang, President of the Korean Society of Cardiology, and Professor Eugene Yang, Chair of the American College of Cardiology (ACC) Prevention of Cardiovascular Disease Section.

Professor Kim reported that CART BP pro passed the ESH accuracy criteria across different arm positions. He stated, “Traditional cuff-based devices require the arm to be positioned at heart level. CART BP pro maintained accuracy regardless of arm position, representing a significant step forward for 24/7 cuffless blood pressure monitoring.”

Study results confirmed no significant differences between heart-level and lower-position readings, with outcomes consistent with standard auscultatory measurements. Professor Kim added that the device is less affected by hydrostatic pressure, ensuring reliable results across various postures.

Smarter 24-Hour Monitoring

On August 30, Professor Hae-Young Lee of Seoul National University Hospital presented “24-Hour Accuracy of a Ring-Type Cuffless Blood Pressure Monitor Based on the ESH 2023 Recommendations.” The session was co-chaired by Professor George Stergiou, President of the International Society of Hypertension, and Professor Gregory Lip of the University of Liverpool.

Professor Lee presented study results demonstrating that CART BP pro accurately captured blood pressure variations between awake and asleep periods, in line with the ESH 2023 recommendations. He further emphasized the importance of 24-hour blood pressure monitoring for identifying patient risk profiles. He noted that, while ambulatory blood pressure monitoring remains the clinical gold standard, it is limited by patient discomfort and infrequent readings. By contrast, CART BP pro enabled more frequent and comfortable measurements across the full 24-hour cycle.

Nocturnal BP and Sleep Apnea

In the final session, Professor Woo-Seok Ha of Severance Hospital presented “Nocturnal Blood Pressure and OSA: Insights from Simultaneous PSG and Ring-Type Monitoring.” The session was chaired by Professor Gianfranco Parati of the University of Milano-Bicocca, President of the World Hypertension League, and Professor Alta Schutte of the University of New South Wales.

Professor Ha explained that nocturnal blood pressure variability differs depending on the type and duration of obstructive sleep apnea events. He noted that the study findings suggest CART BP pro may enable nocturnal blood pressure monitoring without disturbing sleep, potentially serving as a useful tool to stratify OSA risk and to assess long-term cardiovascular outcomes.

Expanding Access

Since its launch in September 2024, CART BP pro has been adopted by more than 1,600 hospitals and clinics nationwide. Sky Labs also announced plans to release a next-generation consumer model in late September 2025, available over the counter and supported by a dedicated mobile application, further expanding access to convenient and reliable blood pressure monitoring.

About Sky Labs https://www.skylabs.io/

Founded in September 2015, Sky Labs is a leading healthcare startup that has developed CART (Cardio Tracker), a ring-shaped medical device designed for disease monitoring using heart signals collected through optical sensors. Following this, the company developed CART BP, a cuffless, ring-shaped device that enables continuous 24-hour blood pressure monitoring, providing valuable treatment information and making a groundbreaking contribution to improving the quality of life for hypertension patients. Sky Labs has signed an exclusive domestic distribution agreement for CART BP with South Korea’s Daewoong Pharmaceutical and is preparing for nationwide sales to hospitals, clinics, and general consumers.
