Aero Hand

18-DOF dexterous hand for advanced manufacturing.

Aero Hand

The world's most capable robot dexterous hand.

A hybrid tendon / direct / linkage drive system that finely balances dexterity, durability, force, speed, weight, and size. Every trade-off tuned for a hand that actually works in the real world.

Aero Hand & Aero UMI

Our flagship hand and the data-collection exoskeleton were co-designed with zero embodiment gap between human demonstration and robot deployment.

Aero Hand

An 18-DOF, human-hand-sized dexterous hand engineered to be the world's most capable. The drivetrain combines tendon, direct, and linkage actuation, each used where it's strongest, to balance dexterity, durability, force, speed, weight, and size against each other in a hand that actually works in the real world.

Data collection · Tele-op

Aero UMI

In-line training data collection exoskeleton with a URDF that exactly matches Aero Hand. Magnetic encoders give direct joint measurement at 0.1° accuracy. The same device doubles as a tele-op rig for remote operation.
