About Inspire Robots

Inspire Robots builds manipulation hardware from miniature actuators through to complete robotic hands and parallel grippers. Its linear-servo products combine compact motors and screw transmissions with control of speed and position; force-sensing variants add feedback for push-pull force. These components provide the actuation foundation for mechanisms that need controlled contact within limited installation space.

The RH hand range applies this approach to articulated fingers, with configurations trading off speed, gripping force and size. Selected models provide real-time finger-force feedback and mechanical self-locking when power is removed. The company also supplies linear-drive parallel grippers, extending its component and control architecture to simpler industrial grasping tasks.

Events

  • 2026-08-21 - Product Launch - Inspire Robots launches RH524J1 24-DoF hybrid-drive dexterous hand

    The hand has 22 active degrees of freedom in the hand and two at the wrist. Its hybrid tendon and direct-drive architecture is paired with tactile and depth-vision control inputs. Inspire demonstrated joystick control, object recognition and grasping, data-glove teleoperation and multi-hand coordination at WRC.

  • 2026-03-19 - Production Milestone - Inspire Robots discloses more than 10,000 dexterous-hand deliveries in 2025

    The company said 2025 dexterous-hand deliveries exceeded 10,000 units. Its official account linked the milestone to batch manufacturing, supply-chain maturity and use across multiple customer types and regions. Inspire separately reports in-house production of the underlying micro linear servo actuators.
