qb SoftHand Research Context

Market context

Underactuated research hand with one motor and one synergy for mechanically adaptive grasps.

• Target environment: Research robotics, collaborative robots, humanoid research and education
• Workflow context: Adaptive grasping, safe-contact manipulation and soft end-effector integration
• Customer context: Labs, universities and cobot developers testing mechanical adaptation instead of high-complexity finger control.
• Deployment model: Commercial research hand for manipulation labs, humanoid development and adaptive grasping experiments.
• Commercial maturity: Commercial/research product page; integration kit and accessory selection should be confirmed with qbrobotics.
• Adoption constraints: Adoption depends on payload, grasp type, mounting interface and whether one-synergy control fits the task.
• Adjacent products: qb SoftHand2 Research, qb SoftHand Industry, IH2 Azzurra, SCHUNK SVH
