Collaborations in humanoid robotics between research and industry.
The PSYONIC Ability Hand is a touch-sensing independent robotic hand for dexterous manipulation.
MYBOTSHOP GmbH is a specialized supplier of professional robotics and automation components, providing high-quality hardware, expert support, and reliable solutions for research, education, and industrial development.
The PSYONIC Ability Hand is a fast, durable, touch-sensing independent robotic hand used by
roboticists for contact-rich manipulation. It combines 6 DoF actuation with 30 touch sensors and an
Open API for full integration—enabling research, teleoperation, and real-world grasping with tactile feedback.
| Hand type | Independent dexterous robotic hand (prosthetic-origin, robotics-ready) |
