AmazingHand Product Information ​

AmazingHand is an open-source, 3D-printable humanoid dexterous hand aimed at embodied-intelligence research, robotics education and human-robot interaction prototypes. The hand body is the same; two hardware options are currently offered: SCS0009 serial bus servos and PWM servos (ESP32-S3).

Mechanical structure ​

  • 4 fingers, 8 degrees of freedom: each finger has 2 DoF (flexion/extension + abduction/adduction), driven differentially by two servos through a parallel mechanism.
  • Actuators built in: all servos are mounted in the hand; no cables need to run to the forearm.
  • 3D printable: the shell and linkages can be printed; the whole hand weighs about 400 g.
  • Both hands supported: use the left or right hand alone, or two hands together on a robot.
  • Wrist interface: the original design fits Reachy 2's Orbita 3D wrist, and can be adapted to other robot arms.

Software ecosystem ​

  • Web control: browser sliders, 19 preset poses, MediaPipe camera teleoperation, with SCS0009 / PWM driver switching.
  • Desktop host software: SCS0009 uses AmazingHandControl (Tkinter GUI + CLI); PWM uses AmazingHand-PWM/tools/hand_gui.py.
  • Hand tracking: SCS0009 offers the official dora + MuJoCo IK demo; PWM offers MediaPipe tracking built into the GUI.
  • Open-source resources: CAD, assembly/printing documentation and Arduino/Python examples are all in the repository.
