The Allegro Hand V5 Plus is a multifunctional, highly dexterous robotic hand designed for research, education, and industrial applications. It offers human-like mobility and high precision in gripping and manipulation tasks.
Features
Multi-joint architecture with 16 degrees of freedom (DOF):
The hand consists of four fingers, each with four motorized joints, allowing complex and natural movements that closely replicate human hand motion.
Independent motor control:
Each joint is individually controlled through current control (current-controlled joints), enabling precise and responsive finger movement.
Robust construction:
Engineered to handle a wide range of objects — rigid or soft, of various shapes and textures. The mechanical components and materials are designed for durability and stability.
Applications in research and education:
The Allegro Hand V5 is widely used in academic and research settings, particularly for studies in grasping, manipulation, haptics, and robotics simulation. It supports real-time control and simulation-based experimentation.
Technical Data (without Fingertip Sensor)
Since this version does not include fingertip tactile sensors, those specific features are omitted; all other specifications are comparable to the standard V5 model:
- Degrees of Freedom (DOF): 16 (4 fingers × 4 DOF per finger)
- Number of Fingers: 4
- Joint Type: Current-controlled joints
- Operation Capability: Grasping and manipulating objects of various shapes and materials (rigid and soft)
- Software/Control Support: Real-time control, online simulation, compatibility with robotics frameworks such as ROS
Fingertip Pressure Tactile Sensor (optional)
- Stiffness similar to a human finger
- Various fingertip options available (sold separately)
- Color changes based on tactile sensitivity
- Air pressure measurement using a capacitive pressure sensor
- Capable of flexibly handling objects — from rigid to deformable soft materials
Fingertip Types
- Type A (Standard): Standard attachment model with an internal structure supporting the outer silicone surface, enabling a firm and stable grip.
- Type B: The support structure for the silicone surface is positioned externally, making this type ideal for gripping delicate objects.
- Type C: The sensor length is reduced, and measurement is limited to the upper part of the sensor – ideal for a strong and precise grip.
- Type D: A wide support structure is installed on the back of the sensor, providing a particularly stable lateral grip.
