Other hardware parts related to Unitree Dex5-1
The Unitree Dex5-1 is a five-finger dexterous robotic hand from Unitree Robotics intended for precise manipulation and grasping on humanoid robots. The hand provides 20 degrees of freedom, of which 16 are active and 4 passive (thumb 4 DOF, the remaining fingers 3 DOF each).
Actuation is provided by 12 self-developed micro force-controlled composite-transmission joints plus 4 micro force-controlled gear-transmission joints, driven by hollow-cup motors. Stated fingertip force is 10 N, fingertip repeat positioning accuracy ±1 mm, and the communication rate 1000 Hz. Maximum payload is 3.5 kg with the palm facing down and 4.5 kg with the palm to the side.
The hand weighs 1100 g, measures 217.3 × 127.5 × 72.1 mm, has a minimum grip diameter of 10 mm and a joint lateral swing range of ±22°. It operates at 24–60 V over a -20°C to 60°C temperature range and communicates via USB 2.0. The Dex5-1P variant additionally integrates 94 tactile sensors per hand (10 g–2500 g range).
