What sets it apart
Why choose this robot
A dexterous hand moves its fingers with several motors and, in some models, measures each finger's force or touch. It is mounted on a robot arm, cobot or humanoid when a single tool must grasp very different parts. For a part that is always the same, a gripper or suction cup is still simpler, faster and more robust.
Five fingers
Grasps like a hand: fine pinch, full grip or two-finger grip.
Controlled force
Regulates grip so it does not break or deform what it holds.
Sensors
Some models sense touch at each fingertip.
Lightweight
Designed to mount on the wrist of an arm or a humanoid.
What it is used for
Typical applications
- Hands for humanoids and cobots
- Grasping objects of varying shapes
- Research in manipulation and learning
Clear expectations
What it can and cannot do
It can
- Grasp objects of different shapes and sizes without changing tools.
- Hold fragile parts with controlled force.
- Complete a humanoid or a research cobot.
It cannot
- Match a gripper's speed and robustness in a repetitive task.
- Lift heavy loads: it is designed for light objects.
- Grasp well without programming or vision to guide it.
Real equipment
Examples we integrate
Photos from manufacturers we work with. Model, configuration and availability are defined in each project. Number of motors, grip force, sensors and communication vary by model; they are chosen by the object and the robot it mounts on.
