Unitree Dex5-1 Five-Finger Dexterous Hand

Five-finger development hand with 20 total degrees of freedom, including 16 active motions. This entry covers the base Dex5-1; the separate Dex5-1P adds pressure-sensing arrays. Both configurations are listed at 1,100 g on the manufacturer comparison.

Sourcebotics selection notes, based on the published documentation.

Application fit

  • Finger-motion and grasp-policy research that needs 16 active control axes; distinguish those commands from the 20 total mechanical degrees of freedom.
  • Comparing a base hand with a pressure-equipped variant before committing to a tactile-data workflow.

Integration planning

  • Name Dex5-1 or Dex5-1P on the quotation. The base Dex5-1 has no pressure array; the 12 arrays and 94 pressure sensors belong to Dex5-1P.
  • Plan the wrist adapter, USB 2.0 host connection and separate power harness together; request the drawing and connector pinout for the shipped revision.
  • Request sample joint-state data and the matching control package. If pressure data is required, ask for a Dex5-1P data sample rather than assuming the base hand exposes it.

Selection considerations

  • The published grasp loads use a 5 cm round hard object at room temperature and specified palm orientations. Test your object geometry and orientation before sizing the arm.
  • Include the hand, adapter and cabling in the host arm load calculation; a fingertip force rating does not establish a complete wrist payload.

FAQ

Does this Dex5-1 include the 94 pressure sensors?

That package belongs to Dex5-1P. This listing is for the base Dex5-1, so request the P variant explicitly if required.

Can it grasp any 4.5 kg object?

The 4.5 kg figure is for palm-left grasping of a 5 cm round hard object at room temperature. Other objects and orientations require testing.
