TESOLLO Robot Hands
Showing 4 of 4 total models
DG-5F-S
By: TESOLLO
Launched: 2026
The DG-5F-S is a high-dexterity, 20-DOF (optional 15-DOF) robotic hand that prioritizes a high strength-to-weight ratio. By reducing the weight to just 880g while maintaining a human-scale 200mm length, it allows humanoid platforms to maintain better stability. It features a direct-drive BLDC architecture that is highly backdrivable, providing inherent mechanical safety and sensitivity for delicate human-robot interaction.
DG-4F
By: TESOLLO
Launched: 2025
The DG-4F is Tesollo’s fully actuated 4-finger robotic gripper with a novel mechanical design and multi-joint structure, integrating functions of a right-hand gripper, left-hand gripper, and parallel gripper into one versatile product. It enables precise, stable grasping of sensitive components like display panels, supports shape adaptability for various objects, and is suitable for research, humanoid robots, and industrial tasks such as film peeling, assembly, and packing, reducing gripper changeover time and costs.
DG-3F-M Delto Gripper
By: TESOLLO
Launched: 2025
The DG-3F Delto Gripper is a next-generation 3-finger robotic hand with 12 degrees of freedom (4 DoF per finger), designed for dexterous grasping in assembly, manufacturing, and research. Featuring slimmer fingers (40% thinner than prior models), doubled torque output, and embedded grasping algorithms, it supports multiple grip modes like pinch, parallel, and envelop grasps. Compatible with TM Robot, Universal Robots, and others, it handles diverse objects from thin paper to 10 kg payloads with individual joint servo control.
DG-5F-M
By: TESOLLO
Launched: 2025
The DG-5F Delto Gripper is a fully actuated, 5-finger anthropomorphic robotic hand with 20 degrees of freedom (4 DoF per finger), designed for human-level dexterity in grasping and manipulation. Comparable in size to an adult male hand (approx. 200 mm length), it features independent joint control, direct-drive BLDC motors, absolute encoders, and supports pinch/power/precision grips. Built for research, industrial, and humanoid applications, it offers high-speed control (up to 500 Hz), optional tactile sensors, and ROS2 integration for precise tool use and object handling.
