Question 1

1.What are the degrees of freedom (DOF) and finger configuration of the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

The Allegro Hand V5 Plus features **4 fingers** (3 fingers + 1 thumb) with a total of **16 active DOF** (4 DOF per finger), enabling precise and human-like dexterous grasping and manipulation.

Question 2

2.What is the grip strength and payload capacity of the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

It offers a **stall torque of 0.92 N·m (typical) to 1.84 N·m** (2nd joint of fingers, excluding thumb), **nominal torque of 0.23 N·m to 0.46 N·m**, and can handle a **payload up to 15 kg** (depending on measurement method), suitable for grasping rigid or soft objects of various shapes.

Question 3

3.What are the power requirements and weight of the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

The hand requires **24 V / 5 A / 120 W** power (compatible with 12-24 V systems) and weighs approximately **1.02-1.20 kg** (manufacturer vs. shop listing, may include cabling variance).

Question 4

Is the Allegro Hand V5 Plus compatible with common robotics frameworks and what communication does it use?

Accepted Answer

Yes, it supports **ROS** and typical robotics frameworks, with **CAN communication at 500 Hz** for real-time control, online simulation, RViz2 visualization, and MoveIt 2 pose execution.

Question 5

4.What programming and SDK options are available for the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

It includes the **Allegro Hand Console Application** for simulation-based algorithm prototyping, hardware testing, and ready-to-use grasping algorithms; supports real-time control, custom CAN interfaces (e.g., NI/Peak), and OS like Windows (XP/7/8, Visual Studio) and Linux (ROS).

Question 6

5.What are the main use cases for the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

Designed for **dexterous grasping, manipulation research, haptics, education, and industrial applications** like handling diverse object geometries (rigid/soft), contact-rich tasks, and simulation-based experimentation.

Question 7

Does the Allegro Hand V5 Plus include tactile sensors, and what maintenance is required?

Accepted Answer

Tactile sensors are **optional** (pneumatic pressure-based fingertip kits sold separately for 360° sensing); it uses durable DC motor construction for robust use, but consult the manufacturer datasheet for joint torque details, electrical values, and routine maintenance like checking mechanical components.

Question 8

6.What safety features does the Allegro Hand V5 Plus have for operation?

Accepted Answer

Features **current-controlled joints** with high joint resolution (0.088°), torque control for precise movements, and gear ratios (288.35

Question 9

7.What is the pricing for the Allegro Hand V5 Plus?

Accepted Answer

Pricing is not listed in available specifications; contact suppliers like MYBOTSHOP GmbH or Wonik Robotics directly for quotes on configurations (with/without fingertip sensors), as it varies by revision, SKU, and package contents.

Question 10

8.How does the Allegro Hand V5 Plus integrate with full humanoid robots or arms?

Accepted Answer

Its **compact 1.20 kg design**, CAN interface, and ROS compatibility make it ideal for mounting on humanoid arms; supports custom tooling like GUI control and fingertip upgrades for contact-rich tasks in research setups.
