The 20 kg value is not a gripping payload

It is the published maximum tolerated applied load without damage when the dexterous hand is pressed vertically downward by a 1 cm diameter cylinder. Results vary by application.

[1] The dimensions are measured with the dexterous hand laid flat.

[2] This value refers to the pressure applied when the dexterous hand is pressed vertically downward by a cylinder with a diameter of 1 cm. It varies across application scenarios; refer to actual conditions.

[3] This product is a civilian robot. Users should not make dangerous modifications or use the robot in a hazardous manner.

Frequently Asked Questions

Dex3-1 product details

How many degrees of freedom does Dex3-1 have?

Dex3-1 has seven degrees of freedom across seven actuated joints: three at the thumb, two at the index finger, and two at the middle finger.

How many pressure sensors are included?

Dex3-1 has nine pressure-sensor arrays containing 33 pressure sensors in total.

Is the 20 kg value a gripping payload?

No. It is the maximum tolerated applied load without damage under Unitree's specified 1 cm vertical-cylinder pressure test.

What do the 500 g and 400 W @ 3 s values mean?

For both published orientations—palm facing down and palm facing left—Unitree specifies a maximum weight of 500 g and maximum power of 400 W for 3 seconds at room temperature while grasping a 5 cm round rigid object.

Which Unitree humanoid robot is officially listed for use with Dex3-1?

Unitree specifically lists its G1 humanoid robot.
