DH-5-6 Dexterous Hand
The DH-5-6 Dexterous Hand by DH-Robotics is a commercial five-finger robotic hand featuring 6 active degrees of freedom (DOF) and tendon-driven actuation with micro linear actuators for precise grasping. It integrates force/tactile feedback, hybrid position-force control, and real-time sensing, enabling human-like dexterity for humanoid robots, cobots, teleoperation, and research. With 80N grip force, 10kg payload, under 0.8s cycle time, and over 1 million cycle lifespan, it supports versatile tasks from delicate manipulation to industrial handling at competitive cost.
