The ADH-5-13 weighs 735 grams and supports a maximum payload of 20 kg. Its anthropomorphic design assigns three degrees of freedom to the thumb, index, and middle fingers, while the ring and little fingers utilize two each. To facilitate nuanced movement, the index and middle fingers incorporate 15 degrees of lateral motion. The system relies on dual magnetic encoders at each joint, achieving a positioning repeatability of ±0.2 mm, which supports sophisticated hybrid force and position control.

DH-Robotics Unveils 13-DOF Dexterous Hand at IROS 2026
At IROS 2026 in Pittsburgh, DH-Robotics introduced the ADH-5-13, a five-finger robotic hand featuring 13 independently controllable degrees of freedom. The debut signals a shift toward high-precision manipulation, aiming to bridge the gap between complex embodied AI research and practical, service-oriented industrial deployment through modular, backdrivable hardware.
Maintenance efficiency serves as a core pillar of the design. The company claims a 300% improvement in serviceability by allowing the replacement of individual modules or sensors without requiring a full system teardown. The hand integrates native fingertip tactile sensing and remains compatible with external electronic skin or six-axis force sensors. Alongside this flagship model, DH-Robotics demonstrated the UDH-3-7, a three-finger variant capable of 15 kg payloads and 50 N of fingertip force, designed for a one-million-cycle lifespan. Both models are compatible with ROS 2, C++, and Python, positioning them for immediate integration into existing AI and teleoperation workflows.
