DESCRIPTION
Hero RGD is an End-Effectors from Open Bionics. It is built for Medical-Assistance, Rehabilitation, Helping. Key figures: 0.6 kg, 34.9 kg payload.
Hero RGD (Rugged) is Open Bionics' heavy-duty waterproof bionic hand for farming, trades and other tough work. It is built from Nylon PA12 with titanium parts, a shock-absorbing TPU palm, spring-loaded fingers and brushless motors. It carries up to 77 lb, grips with 25 N of finger force, and its fingers close in 0.4 seconds, which Open Bionics says makes it the fastest multi-grip hand. Fingertips absorb shocks, torque-limiting clutches protect the fingers, and one fingertip works on touchscreens. A lithium-ion battery built into the hand powers more than 1,200 open/close cycles between 4-hour charges and recharges over USB-C. The wrist flexes manually 45 degrees each way and rotates 360 degrees. Seven work-ready grips include key and point grips, with more coming through wireless updates. Paired with the Hero FLEX socket and MyoPods wireless electrodes, the whole arm can be submerged. Full system weight is 1.27 lb.
