Tesollo, a robotic gripper company, has launched its new humanoid robotic hand, the DG-5F-S.
This latest model builds upon Tesollo’s proprietary actuator technology, achieving a more compact and lightweight design while maintaining the core structure of its predecessor.
Like Tesollo’s flagship model DG-5F, the DG-5F-S features a five-finger, 20 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) configuration.
Each of the five fingers has four independently driven joints, faithfully replicating the structure of a human hand. This design enables the precise manipulation and dexterity required for humanoid robots.
Tesollo first introduced its 20-DoF humanoid hand DG-5F in 2024, powered by its in-house actuator system, debuting it at the IEEE/RSJ International Conference on Intelligent Robots and Systems (IROS).
Since then, the DG-5F has been adopted by major domestic and global tech companies, expanding its use cases across industries.
Now exported to 16 countries, the DG-5F has proven both its technical excellence and market viability. Building on that success, Tesollo developed the DG-5F-S, optimized for integration into humanoid platforms through miniaturization and weight reduction.
Weighing under 1 kg and sized comparably to a human hand, the DG-5F-S offers seamless compatibility with a wide range of humanoid robot platforms.
Its price is set at approximately 60 percent of the DG-5F, providing a more accessible option for startups, research institutions, and small to mid-sized companies that previously found adoption cost-prohibitive.
Additionally, Tesollo offers a variety of customization options – including tactile sensor integration, waterproof covers, and manipulation algorithm tuning – making the DG-5F-S suitable for both research and industrial applications.
Technically, the DG-5F-S employs a Direct Drive mechanism, minimizing backlash and enabling high positional accuracy and intuitive control.
Its gripping and manipulation algorithms allow for stable handling of objects with diverse shapes and materials, while support for industry-standard communication protocols enhances user convenience in real-world environments.
With the DG-5F-S, Tesollo aims to accelerate the adoption of humanoid robot hands and expand real-world applications.
he DG-5F-S is expected to serve as a key platform driving the transition of humanoid robots from research and prototyping to commercialization, further solidifying Tesollo’s position in the global robotics market.
Tesollo CEO Youngjin Kim said: “Since 2023, Tesollo has been developing proprietary actuators optimized for humanoid robotic hands, moving away from the use of generic actuators.
“Our focus has been on achieving high torque density, durability, and maintainability.
“The DG-5F-S represents a significant advancement of that technology, achieving compactness and lightweight design while enhancing compatibility with various humanoid platforms.”
Tesollo plans to officially launch the DG-5F-S in the first half of 2026, following its prototype debut at CES 2026.
Detailed release schedules and available options will be announced sequentially thereafter.
