DexRobot :: High-Degree-Of-Freedom (DOF) Dexterous Manipulation Robots & Intelligent Robotic Hands

DexRobot (灵巧智能) is a Chinese robotics company specializing in high-degree-of-freedom (DoF) dexterous manipulation robots and intelligent robotic hands. The company focuses on developing advanced dexterous hands that bridge the gap between robotic capability and human-like manipulation, with applications spanning industrial automation, embodied AI research, service robotics, healthcare, and logistics.

DexRobot’s flagship product is the DexHand021 Mass Production model — a commercial-grade, high-performance five-finger dexterous hand designed for real-world deployment.

Key specifications and features of DexHand021 include:

• 19 Degrees of Freedom (12 active + 7 passive), enabling highly anthropomorphic hand movements and complex manipulation tasks.
• Multi-modal Perception: 23 integrated sensors covering position, temperature, multi-dimensional force (normal + tangential), and proximity sensing with 0.1 N sensitivity.
• Intelligent Thermal Management: Active cooling system (2.38 cfm) supporting 24/7 continuous operation with real-time temperature monitoring and auto-protection.
• Adaptive Rigid-Soft Coupling: Tendon-driven bionic design that combines strength with compliance for safe and precise grasping of fragile or irregular objects.
• High Durability: Over 1 million lifespan cycles and robust construction suitable for industrial environments.
• Development Ecosystem: Supports Python/C++/ROS integration, open-source SDK, DexTac simulation framework, and DexCanvas datasets for rapid algorithm development and migration from simulation to physical deployment.

The DexHand is positioned as a standardized hardware platform for embodied intelligence research and practical applications. It supports 15+ human-like operations (cylindrical grasp, spherical grasp, multi-finger pinch, in-hand manipulation, etc.) and is suitable for:

• Industrial automation and high-risk environment operations
• Service robots requiring natural human-robot interaction
• High-end education, research, and rapid prototyping
• Healthcare, reception, domestic services, and warehousing logistics

DexRobot emphasizes “Free Hands, Change World” as its vision — empowering robots with dexterous manipulation capabilities to handle complex, unstructured tasks that were previously difficult to automate.
