- Strong-grip dexterous hand Positioned as the load-focused member of the RH56 family, with published grip force around 30 N and a representative capability of lifting a 5 kg bucket.
- Anthropomorphic five-finger layout A human-like palm-and-five-finger design enables pinch grasps, power grasps, and basic in-hand pose adjustments beyond what parallel-jaw grippers allow.
- 6 DoF across 12 joints Six actively controlled degrees of freedom combine with a twelve-joint finger and palm structure for versatile grasp types.
- Integrated force feedback Force sensing enables safer contact and more controlled grasping than purely position-driven grippers, supporting contact-aware control.
- Repeatable positioning Repeat positioning accuracy on the order of ±0.20 mm supports consistent, precise manipulation in research and applied tasks.
- ROS-ready integration An RS485 communication interface and ROS compatibility allow straightforward integration into robotics stacks and research pipelines.
Description
The Inspire RH56DFX is an anthropomorphic dexterous robot hand built to combine a compact, human-like form with multi-joint finger articulation and force feedback. Following a natural palm-and-five-finger layout, it is characterised across the RH56 family by 6 degrees of freedom and 12 joints, with a subset of joints actively controlled and others coupled through linkage mechanisms. Within the family it is positioned as the "strong grip" option, emphasising load-handling capability, with published figures citing grip force on the order of 30 N and a representative capability of lifting a 5 kg bucket, while fingertip repeatability is stated at around ±0.20 mm.
These characteristics make the RH56DFX a practical end-effector for manipulation research and applied automation, where varied grasp types and contact-rich interaction matter more than a single fixed grip. It is widely used for learning-based grasp synthesis, imitation and reinforcement learning, force-aware control, and human-in-the-loop teleoperation, and suits humanoid and mobile-manipulation platforms that must handle diverse object geometries such as tools, handles, bottles, and packaging. An RS485 interface and ROS compatibility allow it to slot into existing robotics stacks. It is offered in left- and right-hand variants, with a hand mass of roughly 540 g.

Frequently Asked Questions
The RH56DFX is an anthropomorphic dexterous robot hand from Inspire Robots' RH56 family. It follows a human-like palm-and-five-finger layout with 6 degrees of freedom across 12 joints and integrated force feedback, and is positioned as the family's strong-grip option.
It is used for dexterous manipulation research, including learning-based grasp synthesis, imitation and reinforcement learning, force-aware control, and teleoperation experiments. It also suits humanoid and mobile-manipulation platforms that handle varied objects such as tools, handles, and bottles.
Published figures cite grip force on the order of 30 N, and Inspire's selection materials present lifting a 5 kg bucket as a representative capability. It is characterised as the higher-load option within the RH56 family.
Both belong to Inspire's RH56 dexterous-hand family. The DFX variant emphasises load-handling and grip strength rather than extreme speed. For a detailed comparison against the RH56E2 for your specific application, contact our team and we can advise.
