XHAND1

The ROBOTERA XHAND1 is a five-finger, 12-DoF independent robotic hand engineered for
dexterous manipulation, humanoid robots, and AI research. It combines
force-capable actuation with 270° encircling 3D tactile sensing on the fingertips and supports
EtherCAT and RS485 communication for robotics integration.
