Dexterous Robotic Hands from China
China now ships more dexterous robotic hands than the rest of the world combined, at price points ranging from $1,400 for a 6-DOF gripper-class hand to $28k for fully sensorized research flagships. This page lists every model we track, with manufacturer-reported specs, price bands, and interfaces side by side. Figures marked † are manufacturer-reported and not yet independently verified; we re-check the catalog quarterly.

Dexterous Hands FAQ
Are Chinese dexterous hands actually reliable?
Production volume is a useful reliability signal: manufacturers shipping thousands of units annually often have more mature MTBF data and spare-parts supply chains. Ask any supplier for cycle-life test data; serious suppliers publish figures exceeding 100,000 cycles.
Fully actuated or underactuated—which do I need?
For grasping known objects in industrial settings, a 6-active-DOF underactuated hand is cheaper and more robust. For manipulation research, VLA data collection, or in-hand reorientation, choose a hand with 12 or more active DOF and tactile sensing.
Can I get one hand as a sample?
Yes. The minimum order quantity is one for every hand we list. Single-unit research orders are common; we video-inspect your serial-numbered unit before it ships.
How do DOF counts differ between spec sheets?
Some makers count total joints (active and coupled), while others count only actuated joints. We list both wherever the supplier discloses them—the 'Active DOF' column is the number that matters for control.
Do these hands work with my robot arm?
Most ship with ISO 9409-1-50 flange adapters or vendor-specific wrist plates, plus EtherCAT, CAN FD, RS-485, or USB options. Send us your wrist interface and communications requirements in the RFQ, and we'll confirm compatibility before quoting.
