We went to XPrize!

Our Dexterous Hands on a mobile manipulator made it to the finals of ANA Avatar XPRIZE competition!

More than just an end effector

Grasping unusually shaped objects - The Dexterous Hand is able to pick up a wider range of objects than a simple gripper

Dexterous - Multiple separately controlled joints on each finger and the thumb allow you to perform more controlled grasping and enables complex interactions with objects

Tactile sensor fittings - we can supply COTS tactile sensors or the documentation for you to install ones from your own lab

Intuitive ergonomics - If you want to work out how the robot should do something, just try it with your own hands! This also makes teleoperation easier for the operator

Support throughout the project - Shadow’s team have years of experience developing robot systems so we “feel your pain” when you run into challenges!

Meeting the needs of a Mobile Manipulator

Light - Our Dexterous Hand Lite is suitable for a 2.4kg payload arm, whilst delivering performance comparable to our Dexterous hand plus

Compact - The Hand Lite is shorter and lighter than the five-fingered Dexterous Hand, reducing the load on the robot arms - as you can see in the diagram

Power Efficient - Stepping down from the five-fingered hand to Hand Lite produces a 35% power saving, helping increase battery life on your mobile system.

Mobile - The small size and weight of Hand Lite make it easy to transport and mount on a mobile system, making it the perfect choice for mobile manipulation!

Affordable - Hand Lite is 35% cheaper than the full Shadow Dexterous Hand!

Grasping any shape
