Integrated Tactile Sensing

The BrainCo Revo 2 Tactile dexterous hand features integrated tactile sensors, providing direct contact force feedback across the hand surface:

Tactile Sensing -- Integrated in Dexterous Hand

Direct Force Measurement: Unlike non-tactile variants that rely on motor current estimation, tactile sensors provide direct, accurate contact force readings at the point of interaction.
Slip Detection: Real-time tactile feedback enables slip detection and automatic grip adjustment to prevent object dropping during mobile manipulation.
Texture Recognition: Tactile sensor array supports surface texture analysis for material identification and quality inspection applications.
Adaptive Grip Control: Force feedback enables closed-loop grip control, adjusting pressure based on object fragility and surface properties for safe handling.
Contact Localization: Distributed tactile sensors identify contact location and pressure distribution for intelligent manipulation planning.
Enhanced Safety: Tactile feedback enables safe human-robot interaction by detecting unexpected contact and triggering appropriate responses.

Integrated RGB Camera

The BrainCo Revo 2 Tactile dexterous hand features an integrated RGB camera, providing critical visual feedback directly at the point of manipulation:

RGB Camera -- Integrated in Dexterous Hand

On-Hand Vision: Camera positioned at the dexterous hand provides first-person view of the manipulation workspace, enabling precise object identification and positioning.
Object Recognition: RGB imagery supports real-time object classification, color detection, and feature identification during manipulation tasks.
Visual Servoing: Close-proximity camera enables visual feedback control loops for precision grasping, alignment, and placement operations.
Quality Inspection: High-resolution imagery supports in-process quality checks, defect detection, and verification of manipulation outcomes.
SDK Integration: Full SDK support for camera control, image processing, and integration with arm control systems for coordinated vision-manipulation workflows.
Reduced External Dependencies: Integrated camera eliminates the need for separate external vision systems on the quadruped for many manipulation tasks.

Five-Finger Architecture

The BrainCo Revo 2 Tactile features a five-finger architecture with 6 DOF across 11 joints, enabling human-like dexterity and versatile grasping patterns:

Thumb

Opposable thumb design enables precision pinch grasps, power grasps, and complex in-hand manipulation. Critical for human-like dexterity.

Index Finger

Independent articulation for pointing, trigger-style manipulation, and fine tactile exploration. Supports precision and power grasp modes.

Middle Finger

Central finger provides stability and force distribution during object manipulation. Key contributor to power grasp envelope.

Ring Finger

Supports power grasp completion and lateral stabilization. Works in coordination with pinky for secure wrapping of large objects.

Pinky Finger

Completes the five-finger architecture for adaptive grasping and in-hand manipulation of complex objects. Enhances grasp security.

11 Joints, 6 DOF

11 joints distributed across five fingers with 6 active degrees of freedom. Enables complex finger coordination and human-like manipulation patterns.

Unitree As2 Quadruped Integration

The R1-7a As2 Professional F is engineered for seamless synergy with the Unitree As2 industrial robot dog:

Mobile Manipulation Ready

Specialized Mounting Interface: Precision-machined mounting pattern ensures perfect, rigid alignment with the As2 robot's backplate, eliminating play during dynamic movement.
Vibration Resistance: Mounting hardware and arm joint bearings are selected to withstand the vibrations and shocks inherent in quadruped locomotion over rough terrain.
Weight Optimization: At 12.1 lb (5.5 kg) for the arm, the system is lightweight enough to allow the As2 to maintain its high speed (>5 m/s) and significant payload capacity.
Unified Power & Data: Designed to integrate cleanly with the As2's power bus and communication network, simplifying cabling and system architecture.
Mobile Inspection & Interaction: Transforms the As2 from a pure mobility platform into a versatile mobile manipulator capable of opening doors, pressing buttons, and retrieving objects in industrial environments.
