The five-finger adaptive robotic hand that gives Unitree humanoids and Z1 arms a research-grade manipulator — 15 degrees of freedom, ~1 kg, ±0.2 mm fingertip repeatability, multi-contact tactile fingertips, EtherCAT + TTL control, and a quick-swap wrist adapter. Retrofit your existing G1, H1, H2 or Z1 in under five minutes.
Most robotic hands stop at a claw. The Dex5-1 delivers a full anthropomorphic five-finger design with per-finger tactile feedback, low-latency EtherCAT control and quick retrofit compatibility for the Unitree platforms you already own.

Five modular fingers, three active joints each, with a coupled palm-spread mechanism for enveloping grasps. Magnesium-alloy frame and polymer links keep the hand under 1 kg while delivering 20–30 N of fingertip force. Serviceable digits mean a bent tendon or worn silicone pad is a five-minute repair, not a return-to-manufacturer job.

Every fingertip is instrumented with a multi-zone capacitive / pressure tactile array — the sensor input imitation-learning and contact-rich manipulation policies need. Silicone tactile pads give consistent surface friction across a wide range of grasped objects, from a golf ball to a stapler.

Five pre-built grasp primitives ship in the firmware — call them by name from the SDK and the on-board controller runs the coordinated finger trajectories. Or drive individual joints directly via position, velocity, force or impedance modes for research work. Built-in over-current and jam protection keeps servos safe during risky grasps.

A four-bolt M4 quick-swap wrist interface on a 31–34 mm PCD retrofits directly onto Unitree H1, G1, H2 and Z1 arm mounts. Pre-wired 1.5 m harness (custom lengths available). ROS 2 URDF meshes and C++ / Python SDK ship with the box — your existing manipulation stack sees the Dex5-1 as another end-effector, not a new robot.
Full mechanical, electrical, tactile, and integration specifications.
Specs per Unitree Dex5-1 datasheet. Pair configuration available. Sensor coverage (Dex5-1 vs Dex5-1P tactile) ships per order. Compatible with Unitree G1, H1, H2 and Z1 arm; ask for a bracket if you need to retrofit a non-Unitree arm.
Five pre-built motion primitives plus one fully-articulated mode — pick the grasp your task needs, drive it by name.

The five-finger hand that Indian research groups and integrators fit to their existing Unitree platforms.
Contact-rich grasping, dexterous manipulation, tool use — tactile fingertips give the sensor resolution real research needs.
Teleoperate + record on H1 / G1 / H2, train VLA and behavioural-cloning policies, deploy back onto the same hand.
Already own a Unitree G1, H1, H2 or Z1? Retrofit the Dex5-1 in under five minutes and unlock five-finger manipulation.
System integrators who need a productionised five-finger end-effector with EtherCAT, ROS 2 drivers and industrial-grade servicing.
The quick-swap wrist adapter is designed for the Unitree H1, G1, H2 humanoid platforms and the Z1 arm (via an adapter plate). Install takes under five minutes with the pre-wired 1.5 m harness. If you need to fit the Dex5-1 to a non-Unitree arm, ask us for a custom bracket — we’ve integrated Dex5-1 with several third-party arm mounts.
The Dex5-1 ships as a single hand in the base kit (hand + wrist adapter + cable set + pad kit + quick-start guide). Pair configuration is available on request — useful if you’re running bilateral manipulation research or upgrading both hands on an H2. Ask for the paired quote on enquiry.
Every fingertip carries a multi-zone capacitive / pressure array — sensors that read contact area, contact force distribution and slip signals in real time. The signals stream over EtherCAT to the host controller with ≤ 5–10 ms latency, making them usable for closed-loop grasp control, tactile-conditioned imitation-learning policies and force-feedback teleoperation.
Position, velocity, grip-force and impedance control — per joint. Plus five pre-built motion primitives (pinch, power grasp, tripod, lateral, spherical) callable by name from the SDK. Built-in over-current, jam detection and auto-home / calibration keep the servos safe during risky grasps.
C++ and Python SDK, plus ROS and ROS 2 drivers with URDF meshes for simulation. EtherCAT (CoE) at ≤ 5–10 ms latency for real-time control loops, TTL for simpler integrations. Compatible with existing Unitree SDK stacks — your G1, H1 or H2 host code sees the Dex5-1 as a swappable end-effector.
Yes. The hand is modular by design — individual finger modules are serviceable, silicone tactile pads swap out with the included pad kit, and cable harnesses are pre-wired for quick replacement. Field-serviceable on-site rather than return-to-factory; xBoom carries spare pads and finger modules for AMC customers.
12-month manufacturer warranty plus the 1-Year xBoom AMC — parts, labour, on-site visits within India, dedicated support engineer. KYC approval is required before dispatch. Pan-India insured shipping from Bengaluru; GCC coverage via our Dubai office.
