Applications
IndustryResearch and development
Intended use, per the manufacturer
Since Agile Hand offers human-like kinematics, it is ideally suited for research and development. It has been used to study and develop new technologies, such as grasping strategies or manipulation algorithms. A space-qualified version has also been employed in various space and ground tests, enabling scientists to handle equipment and perform tasks outside of spacecraft. Manufacturing Thanks to its anthropomorphic dexterity and robust material composition, Agile Hand can grasp small or potentially dangerous objects. That qualifies it to handle various industrial tasks.

Against the field

Each strip holds every robot of this type in the guide that states the figure, one bar per group of values. Further right means a larger figure, not a better robot. A taller bar means more robots in that group.

Fingertip force

10N

38 robot hands state a fingertip force

Agile Hand

19 state a higher figure, 4 a lower one. 1 more states exactly the same figure. 1 states a range that includes this figure. 12 state only a bound (≥ or ≤) and are not ranked. DG-5F-M lies beyond the end of the axis and is drawn at its edge as an open bar.

Weight

1.5kg3.31lbOur conversion from 1.5 kg. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.

59 robot hands state a weight

Agile Hand

4 state a higher figure, 50 a lower one. 4 state only a bound (≥ or ≤) and are not ranked. Log scale: each step along the axis multiplies the value.

Active degrees of freedom

15–16DoF

66 robot hands state degrees of freedom

Agile Hand

Agile Hand states a range, not one figure, so it is shown as a band and not ranked against the others.

Notes

The specification text says: “Fast changer adapter for the robot flange according to ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6.”

The flyer lists a joint velocity of 360°/s and says: “A space-qualified version has also been employed in various space and ground tests”.
