Supplier
The most widely integrated dexterous-hand maker in Chinese humanoids. The RH56/FTP series is the deployed OEM default — conservative six-active-DOF engineering that trades dexterity ceiling for reliability, spare-part supply and cost.

FAQ
Why only 6 active DOF?
Deliberate underactuation: 6 motors cover roughly 60–70% of the human grasp taxonomy while keeping cost, weight and failure modes down. That trade-off is why it became the OEM default in deployed Chinese humanoids.
RH56 vs FTP — which do I need?
FTP variants add fingertip tactile sensing for manipulation research and force-aware grasping. If you only need position-controlled grasps of known objects, the base RH56 is cheaper and equally proven.
