Dexterous Hands Drive Over 30% Of Humanoid Robot Value — Highlighting Around 10 Key Domestic Models

Dexterous Hands Drive Over 30% of Humanoid Robot Value - Highlighting Around 10 Key Domestic Models

Representative Domestic Dexterous Hand Products

Currently, China has developed diverse technical routes and application scenarios in the dexterous hand field, with a number of representative dexterous hand products emerging. The details are as follows:

Unitree Dex5 (Unitree Robotics): This dexterous hand features 20 degrees of freedom (16 active + 4 passive) per hand and 94 sensitive contact points per hand. It enables ±22° lateral swing of the four fingers, allowing better adaptation to the surface curves of grasped objects and improved grasping reliability. Adopting a micro-gap design, the joint rotating shafts are closer to the surface, and the ultra-small joint gaps ensure smoother grasping while preventing joint angles from getting stuck on objects.

FTP Series (Inspring Robotics): Based on the original built-in force sensor solution, this series of humanoid five-finger dexterous hands integrates 12 tactile sensor modules on the surface, which are arranged at the finger tips, finger pads and palm respectively. The FTP Series has undergone optimized design in terms of structure and control, enhancing the durability of the entire hand and extending its service life to over one million cycles. It is claimed that its service life is more than 10 times that of similar products. With its highly bionic design and outstanding performance, the FTP Series has become a leader in robot end effectors.

Dexterous Hand (Zhaowei Machinery & Electronics): Designed based on bionics principles, this dexterous hand has 17 degrees of freedom in total, with each finger having no less than 3 degrees of freedom. All key components of the entire hand are independently developed, including motor drive controllers, micro-motors and transmission modules. Meanwhile, the compliant control algorithm independently developed by Zhaowei Machinery & Electronics enables the dexterous hand to perform complex grasping tasks, providing new possibilities for the application of intelligent robots in complex scenarios. It can adapt to complex and changeable operating environments such as industrial production, special operations and life services, offering efficient and intelligent solutions for various application scenarios.

DexH13 GEN2 (Pacini Sensing): It is the first four-finger bionic dexterous hand on the market that integrates multi-dimensional tactile and AI visual dual-modal capabilities. Each pair of hands is equipped with 1,956 ITPU tactile sensors and 8-megapixel AI hand-eye cameras, capable of analyzing 7,824 channels of tactile signals. Its 13-degree-of-freedom design supports industrial operations such as welding and clamping, and at the same time, it realizes non-destructive grasping of tissues in minimally invasive surgery through force control algorithms. It has been applied in clinical practice in the cerebrovascular interventional robot of Wansi Medical.

Dexterous Hand for Walker S1 (UBTech): The humanoid robot Walker S1 is equipped with the third-generation humanoid dexterous hand independently developed by UBTech. This dexterous hand skillfully uses 6 array-type tactile pressure sensors, enabling the grasping of micron-level soft objects through vision-force fusion.

ROHand (Aoyi Technology): Currently, Aoyi Technology has launched a number of robotic hand products on the market, including the ROHand Series dexterous hands for embodied robots and industrial automation scenarios, the OHand™ intelligent bionic hands for amputees, and the finger joint exoskeleton products for hand movement disorders caused by nerve function damage. The static load-bearing capacity of the fingers of the first-generation ROHand reaches up to 10KG, and the load-bearing capacity of the entire palm is as high as several dozen kilograms. This data is 3-5 times that of products using flexible material transmission solutions.

Five-Finger Dexterous Hand (Harbin Institute of Technology): This dexterous hand weighs only 1.2 kilograms. It can not only flexibly mimic the movements of a human hand but also has built-in sensing capabilities, enabling tactile responses to contacted objects.

DEX-EE Dexterous Hand (Souvr): This cutting-edge hardware co-developed by the company and Google DeepMind integrates high-speed sensing, precise control and extreme durability. It provides unparalleled 3D interaction details and resistance to extreme environments for AI research, redefining the boundaries of robot operations.

Dexterous Hand for Humanoid Robot (Yuejiang Technology): The dexterous hand equipped on the company's humanoid robot has learned to use different tools to complete more than 100 types of complex and dexterous operation tasks. It can perform cross-scenario, multi-machine collaboration and complex operation generalization tasks, and can independently complete tasks such as making breakfast, pouring milk, arranging fruits, toasting bread, frying bacon, arranging breakfast, receiving corporate clients, pouring coffee, delivering documents and picking up parcels.

DexHand021 (Dex Robot): This is an intelligent general industrial-grade five-finger dexterous hand with 18 degrees of freedom. It provides 5 types of multi-modal sensing capabilities and a highly integrated intelligent system, redefining the industry standard for intelligent dexterous hands. The experience price of this dexterous hand is only 68,000 yuan.

Currently, dexterous hands are moving from the "technology verification" stage to the "large-scale application" stage. These products not only represent the breakthroughs of China's robot technology but also herald the arrival of the era of human-robot integration. As the 2025 mass production first year of humanoid robots approaches, dexterous hands will become the core fulcrum to leverage the trillion-level market and reshape the global intelligent manufacturing pattern.
