Canonical robot record
Overview
The qb SoftHand2 Research is the evolution of the qb SoftHand Research: an anthropomorphic robotic hand with 19 disclosable, self-healing finger joints actuated by two motors through two synergies. The second synergy allows it to manipulate objects intended for the human hand without changing wrist orientation, supporting precision pinch grasps, power grasps, in-hand manipulation and a pointing-finger posture; it closes from wide open to a clenched fist in one second.
The hand weighs 0.94 kg, with a nominal payload of 2 kg in pinch configuration and 3 kg in grasp configuration. Feedback is limited to motor position and motor current, and it connects over USB and RS-485 with ROS and ROS2 compatibility. qbrobotics publishes a datasheet, user guide, CAD files, C++ API and GUI software for it, and sells through direct contact and distributors.
RoboZaps maintains this record as part of its canonical robotics database. Specs are source-verified where linked; the record compares public facts across manufacturers rather than representing a single robot maker.
