The Inspire Robots RH56DFX Dexterous Hand is a force-focused robotic hand for humanoid robots, teleoperation, manipulation research, prosthetics R&D, and AI data collection. Compared with the RH56BFX, which prioritizes speed, the RH56DFX is built for stronger grasping performance with 15N thumb fingertip force and 10N fingertip force on each finger.

Six integrated micro linear servo actuators drive 6 degrees of freedom across 12 joints. Built-in position and force sensing provide real-time feedback during motion, while configurable force thresholds help control grip pressure for different objects. This allows the hand to handle delicate items carefully while maintaining enough force for heavier or more stable grasps.

The RH56DFX supports power-off self-locking, allowing the hand to hold its position without continuous power. It is available in left-hand and right-hand configurations with RS485 or CAN control interface options.

Package note: This product is available in Without Wrist and With Wrist options. If your setup needs a mechanical wrist, choose the With Wrist package.

Specifications

Use Cases

• Teleoperation — remote grasping and manipulation where grip force and feedback matter
• Humanoid robots — dexterous end-effector for humanoid and mobile manipulation platforms
• Robot manipulation research — pick-and-place, tool use, grasping, and contact-rich tasks
• AI data collection — grasping and manipulation datasets for embodied AI models
• Prosthetics research — human-scale robotic hand research with force and position feedback
• Industrial automation testing — handling objects that basic parallel grippers cannot manage well
• Laboratory automation — handling vials, containers, tools, and varied lab consumables

Compatibility

• Control: RS485 or CAN bus systems
• Software: ROS / ROS 2 compatible workflows
• Robot platforms: Suitable for compatible robotic arms, humanoid platforms, and custom research systems
• Teleoperation input: Can be paired with data gloves, haptic gloves, motion capture systems, and XR-based control setups
• Hand side: Available in left-hand and right-hand configurations
• Wrist: Choose With Wrist if your setup requires a mechanical wrist; choose Without Wrist if you already have your own wrist, adapter, or mounting solution

Package Options

• Without Wrist: Dexterous hand only. Best for teams using their own wrist, adapter, or custom mounting solution.
• With Wrist: Dexterous hand with mechanical wrist package. Choose this option if your robot arm, humanoid platform, or teleoperation setup requires a wrist mechanism.
