- Can grasp a wide variety of objects, with a variety of grasp styles
- Allows flexible automation without the increased cost and decreased throughput of tool changers

Patented clutch mechanism distributes grasp forces

Firm grasp, even on delicate and precision surfaces

Two control modes: Supervisory Mode, RealTime Mode

Allows robot programmers to issue either high-level commands or close low-level loops outside of the hand

High speed capability

- Improved throughput in pick-and-place applications
- Dynamic capture capability

Brushless Samrium - Colbalt servo motors

- Lower rotor inertia/fast response
- No brush wear/replacements
- High torque, low mass
- Explosion proof
- Carbon brush particles eliminated
- Vacuum compatiblility

All electric - no pneumatics, no hydraulics

Clean and quiet — no pumps, no hoses, no seals, no filters, no leaks

Mechanical and electronic intelligence

- Low-level hand behaviors automatically ensure secure grasps
- Enables supervisory - style control

Backdrivable palm - spread transmission

Fingers readjust to most stable spread configuration

Non-backdrivable finger transmission

- Object remains secure without power
- Payload capacity not limited by active squeezing force
