RobotEra XHAND1

RobotEra's 12-DOF, fully electric, five-fingered dexterous hand with tactile arrays on the fingertips.

The XHAND1 is a five-fingered dexterous hand released by RobotEra in November 2024, serving as the hand end effector for its STAR1 humanoid robot. It has 12 actuated degrees of freedom (3 each in the thumb and index finger, 2 each in the remaining three fingers, with the index finger also able to move side to side), is fully electrically driven, and gives every degree of freedom its own independent actuator that can be controlled separately. Each finger carries a tactile array sensor with more than 100 sensing points, able to sense 3D force and temperature, and the company states a maximum single-hand grip force of about 80 N. In June 2026, RobotEra released an upgraded version, the XHAND1 PRO, which is fully direct-drive with 21 degrees of freedom and 18 distributed tactile sensors across the hand.

ExampleIn an official demo, a single XHAND1 hand lifted a 25 kg dumbbell.
