SCHUNK SVH, also called S5FH in research, is a servo-electric five-finger robotic hand. Nine drives move 20 joints, with control electronics integrated into the wrist. It uses 24 V DC power and RS-485 communication, offers left and right versions, and supports ROS1 and ROS2 for grasping and manipulation.
