CAPANDJIRevolutionizing Robotic Hands by Combining Human-Like Articulation with Embodied Intelligence
The world’s first robotic hand to combine exceptional versatility with unmatched mechanical robustness. Its antagonistic tendon-driven actuation enables switching between soft, adaptive interactions and stiff, secure grasping. Developed as SIRo Soft Hand at Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT).
THE FUTURE OF ROBOTIC HANDS
Tendon-driven and intrinsically compliant, the hand shrugs off impacts and rough handling, unprecedented among of dexterous robotic hands.
From a tiny grape to an egg to a bottle - our unique robotic hand gently handles objects of any shape, size and fragility.
Anthropomorphic design, 25 Degrees of Freedom, intrinsic softness and the ability of varying finger stiffness mechanically through co-contraction.
Where we come from
Capandji grew out of more than a decade of research into soft, anthropomorphic robotic hands at the Soft Interactive Robotics Laboratory (SIRo Lab) at Berliner Hochschule für Technik (BHT) and the Robotics and Biology Laboratory (RBO) at Technische Universität Berlin (TUB). This research was supported by numerous publicly funded projects, including those backed by the EU’s Horizon programmes and the German Research Foundation (DFG). We truly stand on the shoulders of giants.
A new paradigm in robotics
In the real world, artificial intelligence performs better when it is supported by an intelligent body. The mechanically compliant hardware of our hand takes over important aspects of physical interaction that would otherwise need to be handled by control software.
This embodied intelligence significantly reduces the demands on sensing and control, making our hand the most advanced robotic hand on the market at low cost.
Every aspect of the hand’s behavior has been computed.
The hand’s behavior stems from both active and passive processes.
A STRONG NETWORK
The next breakthroughs in robotics are taking shape in Europe. Developed in Berlin and built on a decade of European research, our robotic hand brings advanced dexterity to industry.
Designed, manufactured, and supported in Europe, it helps companies reduce their dependence on global supply chains while giving them greater control over robot deployment and data.
CALL FOR PILOTS
Labor supply is the bottleneck of our time. We are looking for pilot partners who want to solve this problem with us, partners who give our hands real tasks, real feedback and real impact. Let's do this together.
