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

2kg4.41lbOur conversion from 2 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

Mia Hand R&D

37 state a higher figure, 1 a lower one. 2 more state exactly the same figure. 7 state only a bound (≥ or ≤) and are not ranked.

Weight

520g1.15lbOur conversion from 520 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

Mia Hand R&D

44 state a higher figure, 10 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

3DoF

66 robot hands state degrees of freedom

Mia Hand R&D

65 state a higher figure, 0 a lower one.

Notes

Prensilia offers mechanical interfaces on request: “Several mechanical interfaces are available on request (for robot arms from UR, FRANKA, KUKA, as well as QDW from Ottobock).”

The product page gives a maximum size of 140 x 135 x 190 mm and a closing time of 0.4 s; the middle, ring and little fingers are coupled.

The research user manual describes the hand as a prototype and says “Thanks for acquiring this prototype!” and “The prototype should be used and experimented for research only in laboratory.”

The datasheet adds that the hand is also available with the mechanical interface of Mia Hand Industrial (ISO 9409-1-50-4-M6) and Mia Hand Prosthesis (EQD).
