Manus Dexterous Hand powered by MAXimuz Technology
6 Degrees of Freedom (DoF) + 12 Joints
What it means in real life:
• The hand can move and adapt like a human hand, not just open/close.
• Fingers can independently position, curl, rotate, and adjust to object shapes.
Actual benefits:
• Pick up irregular objects (cups, tools, fruit, medical instruments)
• Perform multi-step tasks:
• Turning a door handle
• Using cutlery
• Pressing buttons
• Holding a tablet while tapping with another finger
• Much better performance in unstructured environments (homes, hospitals, retail)
Integrated Force Sensors (Real-Time Feedback)
What it means in real life:
• The hand can feel how hard it’s gripping, like your fingers do.
Actual benefits:
• Doesn’t crush fragile objects (eggs, paper cups, medication blister packs)
• Automatically adjusts grip when:
• An object starts slipping
• Object weight changes
• Safe for human interaction
Examples:
• Holding an elderly person’s hand gently
• Picking up glassware in hospitality
• Handling electronics without damage
Sub-Millimeter Repeatability
What it means in real life:
• The hand can repeat the same motion almost perfectly every time.
Actual benefits:
• Reliable precision tasks:
• Button pressing
• Plugging connectors
• Repeated lab or assembly motions
• Essential for:
• Manufacturing
• Healthcare routines
• Calibration tasks
Why this matters:
• Humans vary.
Robots with high repeatability don’t get tired, distracted, or inconsistent
Realistic Human-Hand Design
What it means in real life:
• Size, shape, movement patterns closely match a human hand.
Actual benefits:
• Intuitive use of human-designed tools
• Scissors
• Door handles
• Touchscreens
• Higher social acceptance
• Less intimidating
• More natural interaction
• Easier training:
“Do it like a human would” actually works
ROS Integration (Robot Operating System)
What it means in real life:
• Plug-and-play compatibility with the world’s most widely used robotics ecosystem.
• Actual benefits:
• Faster development
• Easy integration with:
• Vision systems
• Navigation
• AI models
• Learning-by-demonstration
• Massive community support and reusable modules
For robotic companies :
• Shorter time to deployment
• Lower development cost
• Easier customization per industry
Up to 3kg Load Capacity
What it means in real life:
• Strong enough to be useful, not just impressive.
Actual benefits:
• Carry:
• Laptops
• Food trays
• Tools
• Medical equipment
• Combined with force sensing, it can lift heavy objects gently
Important nuance:
• 3kg at the hand is significant because:
• The wrist, arm, and balance also matter
• Most daily objects are under 2kg
