Tesollo, a company specializing in robotic grippers, has officially commercialized its compact and lightweight humanoid robotic hand, the “DG-5F-S,” and is moving to capture the high-DoF robotic hand market for humanoid robots.

 

Based on Tesollo’s dedicated actuator technology for robotic hands, the DG-5F-S is a newly designed model that focuses on miniaturization and weight reduction while maintaining the core structure and manipulation performance of Tesollo’s flagship DG-5F-M.

 

Through this, Tesollo has broadened the range of applications so the hand can respond more flexibly to mounting requirements and system configurations demanded by various humanoid robot platforms.

 

Built on a 5-finger, 20-degree-of-freedom (20-DoF) multi-joint structure, the DG-5F-S supports the precise grasping and manipulation motions required for humanoid robots.

 

Rather than competing only on specifications, a key feature is its integration-oriented optimization that reflects practical requirements repeatedly encountered during real-world adoption—such as constraints on weight and size, mounting interface conditions, and compatibility with surrounding systems—at the platform integration stage.

 

In addition, Tesollo is also introducing an optional 5-finger, 15-degree-of-freedom (15-DoF) model for research environments where a relatively high DoF is not necessary for hand motion implementation, or where a smaller robotic hand is required.

 

 

According to market research firm Valuates Reports, the market for humanoid five-finger robotic hands was valued at approximately USD 441 million (about KRW 633.8 billion) in 2023, and is projected to grow at a CAGR of 10.3% to approximately USD 876 million (about KRW 1.2597 trillion) by 2030.

 

Tesollo explained that it developed the DG-5F-S based on real-world usage data and field feedback accumulated while supplying the DG-5F-M to global customers.

 

The company emphasized that the DG-5F-S is differentiated in that it is not a conceptual product for research or demonstrations, but a commercial product designed from validated customer needs as its starting point.

 

Additionally, by easing commonly cited barriers in adopting robotic hands—such as price burden and size constraints—the DG-5F-S is expected to lower the threshold for adoption among startups, research institutes, and small to mid-sized companies that have been considering introducing humanoid robotic hands.

 

Through the commercialization of the DG-5F-S, Tesollo plans to expand robotic hands beyond a research platform into a core industrial component that can be reliably applied to real humanoid systems, and to strengthen the foundation for humanoid commercialization in Korea.
