Summary

RUKA-v2 is an open-source tendon-driven humanoid hand from NYU researchers. It adds a two-degree-of-freedom wrist and finger abduction/adduction to support dexterous teleoperation, robot learning and manipulation research.

Overview

RUKA-v2 is an open-source tendon-driven humanoid hand from NYU researchers. It adds a two-degree-of-freedom wrist and finger abduction/adduction to support dexterous teleoperation, robot learning and manipulation research.

Market context

Open-source tendon-driven hand with wrist and finger abduction/adduction for robot learning.

• Target environment: Robot-learning labs, teleoperation research and humanoid manipulation research
• Workflow context: Open hardware dexterous manipulation with wrist motion and richer human-like hand kinematics
• Customer context: Researchers who care about reproducible hand design and human-demonstration transfer.
• Deployment model: Research project hand for open robotics manipulation experiments rather than a mass-market commercial product.
• Commercial maturity: Open-source research platform page.
• Adoption constraints: Research hand; build, durability and support depend on local fabrication and project resources.
• Adjacent products: LEAP Hand, Aero Hand Open, Amazing Hand, ORCA Hand
