About

About Linker Hand L10

Linker Hand L10 uses ten motorised joints and ten mechanically coupled joints across five fingers. Its linkage transmission allows each finger to be commanded independently while distal articulation follows the driven joints, producing pinch, enveloping and multi-finger grasps in a compact anthropomorphic package. The hand supports left- and right-side robot integration.

Fingertip sensors provide contact, proximity and three-dimensional force information, with optional vision and visual-tactile configurations for richer interaction data. CAN and EtherCAT connect the hand to a host controller, and LinkerBot supplies ROS, Qt and PyBullet examples for position control, tactile reads, gesture playback and imitation-learning experiments. The L10 remains a distinct lower-actuation configuration beside L20 and tendon-driven L30.
