The DG-5F-S: Tesollo’s Compact and Lightweight Humanoid Robotic Hand
Tesollo Inc., a South Korea-based robotics company, has announced the official release of its compact and lightweight humanoid robotic hand, the DG-5F-S. This recent innovation is a testament to Tesollo’s dedication to pushing the boundaries of robotic automation technology, with a particular focus on advanced gripper actuator technology. This release marks a significant evolution from the company’s previous model, the DG-5F-M, with the new model embodying a strong emphasis on miniaturization and weight reduction. This redesign allows for improved flexibility in mounting requirements and system configurations, expanding the range of potential applications. Source
Easy Integration of the Humanoid Hand
The DG-5F-S, designed with a five-finger, 20 degrees of freedom (DoF) multi-articulated architecture, supports the precise grasping and manipulating movements required for humanoid robots. This design reflects the practical requirements repeatedly encountered in real-world deployments, such as weight and size constraints, mounting interface requirements, and compatibility with surrounding systems when integrating the platform.
In addition to the 20 DoF model, Tesollo is also introducing an optional five-finger, 15 DoF model. This model is ideal for research environments where extremely high degrees of freedom are not essential for implementing hand movements or where a smaller robotic hand is preferable.
Tesollo asserts that the DG-5F-S is a commercial product designed based on validated customer needs, developed from actual usage data and on-site feedback accumulated during the delivery of the DG-5F-M to customers worldwide.
Addressing Real-World Problems with the DG-5F-S
Tesollo anticipates that the DG-5F-S will help reduce common barriers to the adoption of robotic hands, particularly cost and size constraints. The company aims to lower the entry threshold for a wider range of users, including startups, research institutions, and small and medium-sized businesses considering humanoid robotic hands.
Through the commercialization of the DG-5F-S, Tesollo plans to expand robotic hands beyond research platforms to become industrial-grade core components. The company aims to strengthen the foundation for humanoid commercialization in Korea and beyond.
Since launching its flagship DG-5F at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS) in 2024, Tesollo’s robotic hand has been adopted by major Korean and global technology companies, expanding its use cases across various industries.
With the release of the DG-5F-S, Tesollo continues to demonstrate its commitment to developing unique and advanced technology solutions that address real-world challenges in the field of robotics. Source
