Canonical robot record
Overview
The RH8D combines 19 degrees of freedom — including an opposable thumb and a full spherical wrist joint — with 8 internally housed smart actuators in an underactuated design that balances fine control and conformance to object shapes. It weighs 620 g, and Seed Robotics quotes payloads of 2.50 kg in vertical pull and 1 kg in 3D space, with durability features such as magnetically detachable fingers and Dyneema tendons.
Every actuated joint reports position, speed, and current (allowing force inference) plus temperature and load status, and a palm time-of-flight distance sensor is built in; optional FTS tactile pressure sensors come in 1-axis and 3-axis variants with 1 mN resolution. The hand is sold worldwide on a quote basis, listed from €5,599 plus tax and fees, with dedicated terms for universities and research institutes.
