The Unitree Dex3-1 Dexterous Hand for Robotics

Dex3-1 Dexterous Hand for Robotics is here - Looking Glass XR

The Unitree Dex3-1 is a sophisticated three-fingered dexterous hand engineered to provide robots with human-like manipulation capabilities. Designed for precision and versatility, it integrates seamlessly with platforms like the Unitree G1 humanoid robot, enabling the execution of complex tasks that require fine motor skills.

The Dex3-1 serves as an excellent tool for advancing studies in robotic manipulation, human-robot interaction, and dexterous object handling. Its precision and adaptability make it suitable for tasks such as assembly, packaging, and quality control in manufacturing settings. The hand’s human-like dexterity enables service robots to perform tasks in healthcare, hospitality, and domestic environments, including assisting individuals with daily activities.

The Unitree Dex3-1 is included as standard equipment on our UniTree G1 EDU Ultimate. Follow the link to learn more about Unitree and their line of advanced humanoid robots.

Key Features:

Degrees of Freedom (DoF): The Dex3-1 offers 7 active degrees of freedom: 3 in the thumb, and 2 each in the index and middle fingers. This configuration allows for intricate and adaptable movements, closely mimicking human hand dexterity.
UNITREE

Force-Position Hybrid Control: By combining force and position control, the Dex3-1 ensures sensitive and reliable manipulation, capable of handling delicate objects with precision.
UNITREE

Tactile Sensing: Equipped with 33 tactile sensors distributed across the fingers and palm, it can detect pressure ranges from 10g to 2500g, enhancing its ability to interact safely and effectively with various objects.
UNITREE

Compact and Lightweight Design: Weighing approximately 710g and measuring 175mm x 88mm x 77mm, the Dex3-1 is designed to integrate seamlessly with robotic systems without compromising agility.
UNITREE

High-Performance Actuators: The hand utilizes six micro brushless force control joints with direct drive and one with gear drive, providing the necessary power and precision for complex manipulations.
