Company Overview

Tilburg Robotics is a Netherlands-based robotics company based in Tilburg, with ties to Tilburg University. The company develops the Tilburg Hand, an open-source dexterous robotic hand built for manipulation research rather than industrial deployment.

The Tilburg Hand has 16 degrees of freedom, driven by 16 Dynamixel XL330-M288 smart servo actuators with a stall torque of 0.52 Nm at 5V and a speed of 103 rpm, moving 60 degrees in 97 milliseconds. Each joint reports position through a 12-bit encoder and estimates torque from motor current. Its structure is produced with Multi Jet Fusion 3D printing in PA12-HP nylon, giving it roughly twice the size of a human hand, with a palm about 13 by 10 cm and fingers around 15 cm long, at a total weight under 1 kg including electronics. It connects to a host computer over USB and ships with an open-source Python library, ROS integration, and example scripts for reinforcement-learning research.

Tilburg Robotics sells the hand directly through an online order form, as a single hand (5,000 euro including EU VAT) or a left-and-right pair (9,500 euro including EU VAT), and maintains its software and documentation on GitHub under the TilburgRobotics organization. The product targets computer science, cognitive science, and engineering researchers who need a manipulation platform for reinforcement-learning research.
