DexRobot Showcases DexHand021 Pro: A Humanoid Dexterous Hand Empowering Robotic Manipulation with 22 DOFs and Comprehensive Perception

The DexHand021 Pro transcends conventional designs with its wrist-hand integrated structure, featuring 22 joint DOFs (18 active). Its revolutionary dual-tendon omnidirectional drive enables opposable movements and 3D spatial coverage, mirroring the complex kinematics of a human hand.

DexRobot is embarking on a series of appearances at key industry trade shows across Europe and North America, signaling the strategic expansion of its acclaimed DexHand021 Pro, a highly biomimetic five-fingered dexterous hand.


The DexHand021 Pro transcends conventional designs with its wrist-hand integrated structure, featuring 22 joint DOFs (18 active). Its revolutionary dual-tendon omnidirectional drive enables opposable movements and 3D spatial coverage, mirroring the complex kinematics of a human hand. This synergy of dexterity and strength delivers a robust load capacity, with durability exceeding 300,000 test cycles. Beyond its mechanical prowess, the device incorporates an intelligent sensing and control hub. Integrating 400+ tactile sensing units, 20 high-precision joint position sensors, and a 5MP RGB palm camera, the sensing system captures operational scenarios in real time. Empowered by real-time motor feedback and 500+ total physical sensing points, this multi-modal data feeds into hybrid position/force control algorithms. Together with tendon-driven inherent compliance, the device is able to achieve sub-millimeter operational precision, dynamically adapting to unstructured environments while maintaining responsive and stable operation.

DexRobot has established a "Perception-Decision-Action" technical architecture, with its product matrix demonstrating this closed-loop capability: the DexHand021 series (19-22 DOFs) enables industrial-grade fine manipulation; the DexCap exoskeleton data acquisition system and DexCanvas ?open-source dataset? form a complete data collection and algorithm training loop; and the More series of hybrid robots integrates a mobile base, multi-modal perception, and dexterous hands, enabling end-to-end autonomous operation.

Supported by 20+ patents and 10+ software copyrights, DexRobot contributes to industry standards and advances in dexterous manipulation. The company is committed to fostering a collaborative ecosystem through open-source resources, including Python/C++ SDKs, URDF models, kinematic libraries, and simulation examples.

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

US Digital's New L2 Low Profile Motor Encoder

The L2 incremental encoder uses US Digital's proven EM1 optical encoder module and disk, which has billions of device-hours of dependable service in customer applications. This product continues US Digital's strong reputation for reliable, field-tested encoders. The L2 is US Digital's lowest height encoder that uses the EM1 module. It has a 0.75 in. bolt-spacing mount. The maximum resolution is 1250 CPR (5000 PPR with quadrature). The L2 comes with a single-ended output. Another benefit of the L2 incremental encoder is its fast installation. The cover snaps onto the base to secure the module. It is designed for use with a high-retention connector or cable (sold separately). Like all US Digital products, the L2 is designed and manufactured in Vancouver, Washington, USA. It is backed by prompt access to our technical and customer service teams with same-day shipping on most orders.
