D'Manus is a three-fingered hand developed by Carnegie Mellon University and FAIR–Meta AI researchers, with joint-level Dynamixel actuation and 10 degrees of freedom. ReSkin magnetic tactile sensing covers the palm and all three fingertips. The paper reports that an arm-mounted setup with learned models identified softness and texture and performed tactile bin sorting; these results apply to the reported experimental setup.
