Robotics is stuck at grippers, but it doesn't need to be.

👨🍳 Introducing orca, a fully #opensource software stack for dexterity research built on top of the @orcahand, your friendly open-source robot hand
3d-print your humanoid hand (or buy it for ~€3k), and take it for a robot-learning-spin. Now, it takes ~10 lines of code

@iamRezaSayar @orcahand *everyone who can can afford a laptop i guess :/
English
@orcahand *accessible to everyone (who could afford a $1,700 hand)🫠

Today #opensource dexterity became accessible to everyone! 🤯
just follow along the step-by-step assembly video and build your own 17 DOF orcahand v2 from our $1,700 BOM kit

want to skip assembly and start training your policies today?
→ get a fully assembled and tested orcahand, starting at $3,500

find all STLs on GitHub github.com/orcahand/orcah… for the
• orcahand Touch (17 DOF + tactile sensing channels)
• orcahand v2 (17 DOF)

cool to see the v1 @orcahand in ETH Zurich’s @srl_ethz paper introducing the POMDAR benchmark srl-ethz.github.io/POMDAR/ that measures what the hand actually does in contact-rich tasks and not just DoF or workspace.
curious to see how the v2 with tactile and joint sensing will score

glad to see that chinese closed source hardware companies are adopting our design @Linker_hand

This Chinese robot hand is on another level. Watch it tighten screws with insane precision. #Robot #HumanoidRobot #FutureTech #Innovation #ChinaTech #Robotics #Engineering #NextLevel

Last week, we announced our three new hands. Today, we're releasing their digital twins ↓↓↓

@jingzi_zhao_x @orcahand sure. feel free to use 虎鲸巧手 as our Chinese company name ;)

@orcahand Hi! I’d love to translate and repost this video on the Chinese social media platform RedNote. I would of course credit your company name and X account. Would that be okay with you?

it's time to drop three new #opensource robotic hands! this time with tactile sensors! Tweak it, 3D print it, and use them in your robotics and physical AI research! Here are some wild examples ↓↓↓
English
@orcahand The tactile sensor addition is a game changer -- how sensitive are they compared to commercial options and can they detect things like texture differences or just pressure 🤔

@orcahand Only assembly instruction I could ever follow ✨
English
@shadowdefense @orcahand right now it has >100N (so >10kg) grip strength but it can likely do 2-3x more just using plastics as is
English
@orcahand If we had it completely made of aluminum or titanium how much strength do you think it could have to pick up something heavy
