Shadow Robot Dex-EE Electric Dexterous Hand

Vendor: Shadow Robot

Product: Dex-EE

Shadow Robot Dex-EE Electric Dexterous Hand

Three-finger electric hand co-developed by Shadow Robot and Google DeepMind for real-world machine learning, weighing 4.1 kg at 350 mm tall with 12 DoF and billed as the most robust dexterous hand on the market. High-bandwidth torque and position control loops deliver delicate fingertip dexterity; torque and inertial sensing throughout the hand plus optical tactile sensors with hundreds of taxels per finger and multi-taxel 3-DoF tactile on middle/proximal phalanges. Built for long-running RL: long mean time between failures, repeated-impact resistance, user-maintainable design with fail-safes and graceful shutdown, fully ROS integrated. DEX-EE Chiral variants (Left/Right/Bi-Manual Pair) offer human-like kinematics for teleoperation and bi-manual imitation learning.
