Hitbot keeps costs low by building the key parts itself. For example, it designs the tiny electric actuators, the drivers and the control software in-house. In addition, it reuses proven modules from its grippers and robot arms. The hand grips firmly enough to lift about 5 kg, and buyers can add optional touch sensors for finer force control. Therefore, it suits factories, labs and robot makers who want a dexterous hand without a high price tag.
