About

About DexHand021 Pro

DexHand021 Pro is a 22-degree-of-freedom anthropomorphic hand using dual-tendon transmission for independent finger motion and compliant grasping. Its wrist-hand integration provides a continuous mechanical and sensing structure for humanoid arms and manipulation systems.

Multimodal sensing covers the fingertips and palm for force, contact and object-state feedback. The hand is rated for 50-newton handling and more than 300,000 operating cycles. DexRobot provides control interfaces, development tools and integration support for humanoid and embodied-AI programmes.
