DESCRIPTION
qb SoftHand Research is an End-Effectors from Qb Robotics. It is built for Assembly, Pick-and-place, Research. Key figures: 0.8 kg, 1.1 kg payload, 19 degrees of freedom.
The qb SoftHand Research is an anthropomorphic soft robotic hand with five fingers and 19 phalanges that reproduces human-like grasping via a single-motor, tendon-driven underactuated synergy. It adapts mechanically to varied object shapes without complex sensing, and is designed for collaborative robots, humanoids, and research labs.
FEATURES
- 5 human-like fingers
- 19 anthropomorphic DOFs
- one synergy, one motor
- dislocatable self-healing finger joints. Replicates ~75% of human grasps via soft-robotics adaptation. Grasp force 62 N (pinch)
- nominal payload 1.1 kg (pinch). Weight 0.77 kg. ROS & ROS2 compatible
- soft and safe for object/people interaction.
