About orcahand
orcahand is an open-source tendon-driven hand with 17 degrees of freedom and anthropomorphic finger geometry. The design supports articulated grasping, tool interaction and manipulation through remotely located actuators and routed tendons.
Integrated tactile sensing provides contact information across the hand for teleoperation and learned control. ORCA Dexterity publishes CAD, electronics, software and assembly resources and supports ISO-standard robot-arm mounting. The platform is designed for research, manipulation datasets and open hardware development.
