How Antarum earns money

Overview

An open-source, tendon-driven five-finger hand with 17 independently actuated joints (16 in the fingers, one in the wrist), developed from ETH Zurich's Soft Robotics Lab. It is sold assembled or can be built from the published files.

Key specs

Degrees of freedom: 17 (16 fingers + 1 wrist), all actuated
Actuation: Antagonistic tendon pairs; Feetech or Dynamixel servos
Servo torque (Dynamixel version): 16 × 0.92 N·m (fingers), 1 × 1.9 N·m (wrist)
Weight: approx. 1.2 kg (Dynamixel version)
Touch (orcahand touch): 351 taxels, 3D force per taxel, 0.1 N sensitivity
Mounting: ISO 9409-1 flange
Software / licence: orca_core Python controller; hardware and code under MIT licence
Durability test: 10,000+ continuous cycles without failure (ETH Zurich)

Versions & prices

orcahand (Feetech): US$3,50017 DoF

Why it’s in

Everything is open (CAD, firmware, simulation models), so owners can print and replace parts themselves, which matters for a young company.
17 independently actuated joints from US$3,500, with tested durability (10,000+ cycles) and finger joints that dislocate under overload instead of snapping.
Built for learning from demonstration: teleoperation with data gloves or Apple Vision Pro is supported.

What bothers us

Young company; the official shop could not be checked and EU delivery terms are unconfirmed.
Servo-and-tendon design needs tensioning and calibration, and payload is not yet specified (ROBOTIS lists it as TBD).
Touch sensing only on the more expensive orcahand touch.
