Summary

qb SoftHand Research is qbrobotics anthropomorphic soft robotic hand for research labs.

Overview

qb SoftHand Research is qbrobotics anthropomorphic soft robotic hand for research labs.

Market context

Underactuated research hand with one motor and one synergy for mechanically adaptive grasps.

• Target environment: Research robotics, collaborative robots, humanoid research and education
• Workflow context: Adaptive grasping, safe-contact manipulation and soft end-effector integration
• Customer context: Labs, universities and cobot developers testing mechanical adaptation instead of high-complexity finger control.
• Deployment model: Commercial research hand for manipulation labs, humanoid development and adaptive grasping experiments.
• Commercial maturity: Commercial/research product page; integration kit and accessory selection should be confirmed with qbrobotics.
• Adoption constraints: Adoption depends on payload, grasp type, mounting interface and whether one-synergy control fits the task.
• Adjacent products: qb SoftHand2 Research, qb SoftHand Industry, IH2 Azzurra, SCHUNK SVH
