Unitree has launched the Dex5-S, a human-sized robotic hand featuring 22 degrees of freedom (DoF) and backdrivable capabilities. Priced at approximately RMB 39,900, this innovative product is designed primarily for developer manipulation research rather than for use in a new humanoid chassis.
The introduction of the Dex5-S is significant as it provides researchers and developers with a versatile tool for exploring advanced manipulation techniques. The 22-DoF design allows for a wide range of movements, enhancing the potential for complex tasks and applications in robotics.
Looking ahead, the focus will be on how the Dex5-S can influence research and development in robotic manipulation. No further timeline was disclosed at the time of publication.
