Inspire RH56E2 Dexterous Robot Hand-thumbmail-1

Description

The Inspire RH56E2 is a humanoid five-finger dexterous robot hand built for research and applied robotics, including service robotics, manipulation R&D, teleoperation experiments and humanlike grasp studies. Its five-finger layout approximates common human grasp patterns, pinch, power grasp and tripod, while keeping control manageable through 6 degrees of freedom across 12 joints, driven by six compact linear servo actuators selected for high torque density.

Sensing is central to the design. The hand integrates six force sensors with 0.5 N resolution and a configurable tactile array of 5 to 17 modules, supporting closed-loop, threshold-based gripping that adapts squeeze force to an object's hardness or slip risk. A power-off self-lock holds position when power is removed, so the hand does not require re-homing at startup.

Maximum fingertip output force reaches 30 N with repeated positioning accuracy of ±0.2 mm. The thumb offers more than 85 degrees of lateral rotation, and motion is brisk, over 130 degrees per second at the thumb and over 200 degrees per second across the four fingers. It runs on DC 24 V and integrates over Modbus TCP and CAN, with RS485 optional.
