Welcome, Linker Hand O30!

The Linker Hand O30 is a robotic hand from LINKERBOT, a Chinese manufacturer, positioned as a capable option for robotic manipulation. Its overall Humanoid.Guide Hand Score is 7 out of 10, placing it in the capable or mature range rather than the highest performance category. The score combines a Degrees of Freedom rating of 4 out of 5 with a Strength rating of 3 out of 5. This gives the O30 a stronger relative standing for dexterity than for strength within the scoring framework. These ratings describe performance tiers, not a count of joints or a physical force measurement. The hand is listed at USD 6,000 and weighs 0.73 kilograms. Its five finger format makes it relevant to comparisons among anthropomorphic robotic hands, while its production status distinguishes it from preliminary concepts. For prospective buyers, the central proposition is a mature hand with a strong dexterity rating and a more moderate strength rating, offered as a commercially listed product.

The O30’s ratings provide two distinct dimensions for technical evaluation: degrees of freedom and strength. A rating of 4 out of 5 for Degrees of Freedom places dexterity closer to the top of the scale, while 3 out of 5 for Strength represents a middle tier result. For teams comparing hands for manipulation research or integration into robotic systems, that distinction helps frame the selection process without treating an overall score as a complete specification. Projects should assess dexterity and strength separately against their task requirements. The overall score of 7 is therefore most useful as a comparative summary, with the category ratings providing a clearer picture of the hand’s assessed balance.

The Linker Hand O30 is listed as in production, with a published price of USD 6,000 and an inquiry option for prospective customers. LINKERBOT provides its manufacturer website at www.linkerbot.cn, giving buyers a direct route for commercial discussions. The listed price provides an initial procurement reference, while final purchasing decisions should account for the requirements of the intended integration. More broadly, the O30 represents a commercially available entry in the growing market for robotic hands, where dexterity and strength are evaluated as separate priorities. Its mature overall rating makes it a relevant comparison point for teams reviewing available hardware, without implying that it leads every performance category or suits every manipulation task.
