Dexcel Robotics launches the Apex Hand
Dexcel Robotics introduced Apex Hand, its first anthropomorphic five-finger robot hand for embodied-intelligence research and real-world manipulation.

Evidence notes
- Apex Hand combines 21 degrees of freedom, including 16 actuated joints, with backdrivable joints and sub-millimetre fingertip repeatability.
- Launch demonstrations included one-handed smartphone operation, pulse sensing and mouse control alongside precise object manipulation.
- The hand integrates optional soft electronic-skin sensing across the fingertips, inner joints and palm with a 1,000 Hz sampling rate.
Company context
Dexcel Robotics develops the Apex Hand, a sensor-rich dexterous robotic hand for embodied-AI research and manipulation applications. Its integrated hardware combines multiple articulated degrees of freedom with tactile and proprioceptive feedback, giving robot developers a platform for learning grasping and in-hand skills.
