Surge Hand (Independent Hand)

The Surge Hand is Alt-Bionics’ high-performance independent robotic hand designed for
humanoid and industrial manipulation. Built around a modular finger architecture to minimize downtime,
Surge focuses on stable real-world grasping via rubberized contact surfaces, with a published
lifting capacity up to 40 lb (~18.1 kg) per hand. Optional advanced fingertip force sensing is listed as
“coming soon” for finer contact-rich tasks.
