About DEX-EE Hand
DEX-EE is Shadow Robot's electric dexterous hand for machine-learning and manipulation research. Developed with Google DeepMind, the platform is designed for repeated real-world experiments, teleoperation and bimanual learning.
DEX-EE and DEX-EE Chiral differ in geometry and hand orientation for particular research setups. Durability, sensing, degrees of freedom and system interfaces remain tied to the selected version and associated control hardware.
