Product details

Overview

A 13-DOF robotic hand for advanced articulation and contact-aware manipulation research. Confirm hand side and hardware revision before ordering.

Ordering note: This listing retains the existing interface choices. Hand side and revision-specific supplier SKU must be confirmed with Knoxlabs before purchase; it is not a left/right pair.

Applications

Advanced articulation, contact-aware manipulation research and operator-driven robotics experiments.

Integration and contents

One RH5DG2 hand in the ordered configuration. Mounting adapters, controller, power supply and cables are not promised unless itemized in the order.

Current store SKUs identify interface but not left/right hand or tactile revision. Confirm the complete manufacturer SKU, hand side and revision with Knoxlabs before purchase. Published weight and power ratings differ across regional revisions.

Shipping is calculated separately. Confirm availability, rated power supply, mounting, cables, controls and warranty terms before deployment.

Who it is for

Details

Higher-articulation manipulation studies and hand-posture experiments.

Setup & deployment

Details

Confirm configuration and mounting, use the rated power supply, wire the selected communication bus, and validate a safe motion and force envelope using the matching manufacturer documentation.

Resources & documents

Details

Manufacturer reference: https://en.inspire-robots.com/product/rh5dg2/ . Confirm the revision-specific datasheet, CAD and control documentation before integration.

Configuration notes

Details

Current store SKUs identify interface but not left/right hand or tactile revision. Confirm the complete manufacturer SKU, hand side and revision with Knoxlabs before purchase. Published weight and power ratings differ across regional revisions.

FAQ

Is this a pair?
No. Each configuration is one left or right hand. Order the other side separately for a pair.
Is it plug-and-play with my robot?
No universal drop-in compatibility is promised. Confirm mechanical mounting, power, interface, cabling and control software for your robot revision.
What is included and when will it ship?
Confirm the packing list and lead time with Knoxlabs. Availability is not inferred from the ability to place an order; optional equipment is separate unless itemized.
