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.

Lifting capacity

48 robot hands state a lifting capacity

ADH-5-13

ADH-5-13 states an upper limit, not one figure, so it is shown open-ended and not ranked against the others. 6 state only a bound (≥ or ≤) and are not ranked.

Notes

DH-Robotics' press release dated “Sept. 30, 2026” says: “DH-Robotics today debuted the ADH-5-13, a five-finger dexterous hand with 13 independently controllable active degrees of freedom (DOF), at IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh.” The company calls it “marking the global debut of the ADH-5-13”.

Finger configuration: “The thumb, index finger and middle finger each have three DOF; the ring and little fingers each have two. The index and middle fingers also provide ±15° of lateral motion for a broader range of multi-finger poses.”

Position feedback and repeatability: “Dual magnetic encoders at each joint provide position feedback, and DH-Robotics specifies fingertip positioning repeatability of ±0.2 mm.”

Sensing options: the hand “can accommodate additional sensing options, including electronic skin, six-axis force/torque sensors and vision-based tactile sensors.”
