Hardware Overview ​

The two servo options share the same hand mechanics; the differences are the servo model, driver board and wiring. Confirm which version you have before assembling the hand.

Mechanical structure ​

  • 4 fingers, each with 2 degrees of freedom: flexion/extension + abduction/adduction.
  • Each finger is driven differentially by two servos through a parallel mechanism, and all servos are mounted in the hand.
  • 3D-printed shell, linkages and soft finger joints; the whole hand weighs about 400 g.
  • The original wrist interface fits Reachy 2's Orbita 3D, and can also be adapted to other robot arms.

Assembly and 3D printing ​

Before assembly, set the hand to its middle position and install the servo horns at the middle position; the two servo options have different servo horns/splines and travel ranges, so they cannot be mixed.
