Inspire–Renesas Dexterous Hand

Inspire-Renesas dexterous robotic hand enabled by highly precise force signal conditioning. The system performs delicate tasks—such as gently holding an egg—showcasing advanced force control and real-time feedback. This capability is powered by a highly integrated Sensor Signal Conditioner (SSC) that simplifies design and boost's reliability. By consolidating components like ADCs, amplifiers, and digital processing into one device, the SSC accelerates development and ensures robust performance.

Applications:

  • Dexterous Hand
  • Safe HRI (Human-Robot Interaction)
