Shadow Dexterous Hand Super Lite is Shadow Robot’s lightweight two-finger dexterous hand for precision manipulation and research. Its tendon-driven mechanism combines seven DC motors, seven active degrees of freedom and eight mechanical joints in a 1.8 kg assembly. The hand includes one IMU and one Shadow Tactile Fingertip as standard, with support for up to two. It runs a 1 kHz host control loop over EtherCAT, is ROS compatible, and is suited to mobile robot arms where low mass matters.
