About
The Orcahand Touch is a dexterous robotic hand with integrated tactile sensing designed for advanced manipulation research, enabling robots to detect contact forces such as shear, slip, and normal force through distributed fingertip sensors.
Specs
The Orcahand Touch features 17 degrees of freedom, including 16 finger actuators and one wrist joint, enabling independently actuated joints for dexterous manipulation. It integrates 351 tactile sensing elements (taxels) distributed across five digits. Each taxel measures a 3D force vector (shear and normal forces), providing 1,053 total force sensing channels. Both the hand firmware and tactile sensing module are fully open-source, supporting experimentation with contact-rich robotic manipulation.
