About

About Unitree Dex1-1

Dex1-1 is a 550-gram electric parallel gripper with a 90-millimetre stroke, adjustable force from five to 120 newtons and closing speed from 50 to 375 millimetres per second. Fingertip position resolution is 0.1 millimetres, while the published form-fitting and friction-grip load limits are 20 and five kilograms respectively.

The gripper communicates through a six-megabit-per-second RS-485 interface at control frequencies up to one kilohertz and returns angle, velocity, torque and temperature. Standard and camera-equipped versions support standalone use and integration with Unitree G1, H2 and R1 robots. Applications include parcel sorting, electronics, retail, medicine and research.
