TESOLLO Inc. this month launched its new humanoid robotic hand, the DG-5F-S. The corporate stated the most recent mannequin builds on its proprietary actuator know-how, leading to a extra compact and light-weight design than its predecessor whereas sustaining the core construction.
“Since 2023, TESOLLO has been growing proprietary actuators optimized for humanoid robotic arms, transferring away from using generic actuators,” said Youngjin Kim, CEO of TESOLLO. “Our focus has been on reaching excessive torque density, sturdiness, and maintainability.”
“The DG-5F-S represents a major development of that know-how, reaching compactness and light-weight design whereas enhancing compatibility with numerous humanoid platforms,” he added.
Based in 2019, TESOLLO stated its title is a mixture of “know-how” and “sole,” representing its dedication to utilizing know-how to open new horizons within the robotic automation market. The Incheon, South Korea-based firm was an exhibitor at CES final week.
New mannequin builds on DG-5F robotic hand
Like TESOLLO’s flagship mannequin DG-5F, the DG-5F-S encompasses a five-finger, 20 degrees-of-freedom (DoF) configuration. Every finger has 4 independently pushed joints copying the construction of a human hand. This design allows the exact manipulation and dexterity required for humanoid robots, the corporate asserted.
“Transferring away from the standard strategy of making use of extensively used general-purpose actuators, we’ve been growing devoted actuators optimized for humanoid robotic arms in-house since 2023,” Youngjin Kim stated.
The DG-5F debuted on the IEEE/RSJ Worldwide Convention on Clever Robots and Methods (IROS) in 2024. Since then, main Korean and international know-how corporations have adopted the gripper, increasing its use instances throughout industries.
Now exported to 16 nations, the DG-5F has confirmed each its technical excellence and market viability, stated TESOLLO. The corporate stated it constructed on that success in growing the DG-5F-S, which is optimized for integration into humanoid platforms by means of miniaturization and weight discount.
Weighing beneath 1 kg (2.2 lb.) and sized comparably to a human hand, the DG-5F-S is suitable with a variety of humanoid platforms, TESOLLO stated.

TESOLLO gives an reasonably priced, correct choice
TESOLLO stated the worth of the DG-5F-S is about 60% of that of the DG-5F, offering a extra accessible choice for startups, analysis establishments, and small to midsize corporations.
The DG-5F-S employs a direct-drive mechanism, minimizing backlash and enabling excessive positional accuracy and intuitive management, the firm defined. TESOLLO stated its gripping and manipulation algorithms enable for secure dealing with of objects with numerous shapes and supplies.
As well as, the brand new robotic hand contains assist for industry-standard communication protocols to boost person comfort in real-world environments, in accordance with the corporate.
TESOLLO gives a wide range of customization choices, together with tactile sensor integration, waterproof covers, and manipulation algorithm tuning. TESOLLO stated they make the DG-5F-S appropriate for each analysis and industrial purposes.
With the DG-5F-S, TESOLLO goals to speed up the adoption of humanoid robotic arms and increase real-world purposes. It described the brand new finish effector as “a key platform driving the transition of humanoid robots from analysis and prototyping to commercialization, additional solidifying TESOLLO’s place within the international robotics market.”
After the prototype debut at CES, TESOLLO plans to formally launch the DG-5F-S within the first half of 2026.
