The RH56F1 is Inspire Robots' production-grade flagship dexterous hand — engineered for programs where precision, durability, and real-time control performance are non-negotiable. An all-metal body with integrated skeletal frame delivers 30 kg static passive load capacity, while twenty-four multi-dimensional sensors across four categories — tactile, force, position, and temperature — feed a deeply integrated software stack supporting multiple simultaneous control strategies.

EtherCAT communication at 1 kHz puts the F1 in the same control-bandwidth tier as industrial servo systems, enabling millisecond-level response across all 6 DOF. Eight tactile sensors distributed across the palm provide localized contact feedback with 30N range and 5% FS accuracy. Verified through 20 standardized durability and performance tests. Available in EtherCAT + RS485 or EtherCAT + CAN FD — both with T1 tactile sensing included.

Key Features

• All-metal body with integrated skeletal frame — 30 kg static passive load capacity; superior structural rigidity over polymer-frame hands
• 1 kHz EtherCAT real-time communication — industrial servo-class control bandwidth with millisecond response
• 24 multi-dimensional sensors in 4 categories — tactile, force, position, and temperature operating simultaneously
• 8 tactile sensors — 30N range, 5% FS accuracy, distributed across the palm for localized contact detection
• ≥15N thumb / ≥10N finger grip force — with 0.1N force resolution for fine grip modulation
• Thumb lateral rotation 56–180° — widest rotation range in the RH56 lineup
• Innovative concealed wiring — hidden throughout the full-metal body for clean integration and reduced snag risk
• Multiple simultaneous control strategies — force, position, and impedance control modes running in parallel
• Verified through 20 standardized tests — structural, mechanical, electrical, and performance qualification
• EtherCAT + RS485 or EtherCAT + CAN FD — select the interface that matches your control architecture
• Left and right hand configurations — available as matched pairs for bimanual humanoid setups
