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
25N
38 robot hands state a fingertip force
7 state a higher figure, 17 a lower one. 1 more states exactly the same 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.
Lifting capacity
more than 25kgmore than 55.1lbOur conversion from 25 kg. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.
48 robot hands state a lifting capacity
Mimic Hand M1 states a lower 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.
Weight
1,800g3.97lbOur conversion from 1,800 g. The manufacturer does not state an imperial figure itself, so the conversion has no source of its own.
59 robot hands state a weight
2 state a higher figure, 52 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
15DoF
66 robot hands state degrees of freedom
29 state a higher figure, 33 a lower one. 2 more state exactly the same figure. 1 states a range that includes this figure.
Indicative price
18,000USD
25 robot hands state a public price
9 state a higher figure, 15 a lower one. Log scale: each step along the axis multiplies the value.
Notes
Mimic Robotics announced the hand in a blog post dated “July 16, 2026”: “mimic robotics unveils the mimic hand M1 and mimic wearable U1, a full-stack physical AI platform for general-purpose dexterous manipulation.”
Drive: “Actuation Method Bi-directional, pulley-guided tendon drive”, with the actuators in the forearm, “using the volume of the forearm to house larger actuators”.
Sensing and control figures from the specification table: “Joint Backdrivability < 0.05 Nm backdrive torque”; “Force Estimation Sensitivity < 0.1 N”; “Fingertip Position Accuracy (closed loop, joint encoders) ± 0.18 mm”.
