New 5-finger, 20 DOF HX5-D20 hand with ROS 2

We just released the introduction video for our new 5-fingered, 20 DOF robot hand, the ‘HX5-D20’. :mechanical_arm:

What I really want to emphasize from our development process is that it achieves 20 DOF using a Direct Drive mechanism, rather than tendons or linkages!
As an engineer, seeing the physical compliance (handling impacts naturally) and the modular maintenance (swapping fingers with just a few screws) shows how much our team focused on solving actual hardware pain points.

:fire: Key Points:

  • Robot Hand with ROS 2
  • 5 Fingers, 20 DOF (Direct Drive mechanism)
  • Unmatched speed from direct drive!
  • 15kg Nominal Payload (Peak 20kg!)
  • GUI-based Dynamixel Wizard 2.0 native integration
  • VR Teleoperation 1:1 mapping & AI Worker ready

If you’re researching AI-driven manipulation or humanoid robots needing a multi-DOF hand, definitely check this out.
We’ve also shared the detailed manual and open-source ROS packages!
