Bringing human‑level dexterity to robots
Co-designed dexterous hands and data systems, so robots inherit human skill
Dexterous robots need durable hardware that can withstand repeated real-world use, and contact-rich data that helps them learn precise manipulation.
We co-design Aero UMI, Aero Hand and software as one system, aligning motion and contact from demonstration to execution, with durability and reliable operation at the core.
The Aero System brings together Aero UMI, our wearable demonstration interface, Aero Hand, our dexterous robotic hand, and supporting software. Co-designed as one system, they connect human demonstrations with robot learning and execution through aligned motion and contact.
Yes. Aero UMI can be used independently to collect manipulation demonstrations. Using those demonstrations with a different robotic hand requires retargeting: mapping the recorded motions to that hand’s structure and movements.
Our first production batch is expected to be ready in late October 2026. Contact us to discuss availability and delivery timing for your preferred configuration.
Pricing depends on the products and configuration you need. Get in touch with our team to discuss your application and request a quote.
Yes. Aero Hand Open remains available. We especially welcome collaborations with universities and research labs interested in using it for research, teaching and student projects.
We’re developing the Chestnut Research & Education Program to help researchers, educators and students explore dexterous robotics with our hardware and tools. If you’re interested in research collaboration, teaching or hands-on student projects, contact us to discuss your ideas and register your interest.
We welcome customers, researchers and industry partners working to advance dexterous robotics. Whether you’re exploring our products, proposing a research project or bringing a real-world application, we’d love to hear from you. Reach out through our contact page or email contact@chestnut.bot.
