Motion-control manufacturer Leadshine from Shenzhen entered the robot-hand market in 2025 with the DH116 series, announced in June of that year. The five-finger hand has 11 degrees of freedom, six of them active and driven by brushless coreless motors inside the hand.

The base model carries only encoders, whereas the DH116-M variant adds multimodal tactile sensors in fingertips and palm.

CAN FD is the standard interface with RS-485 and EtherCAT variants available, and an open SDK covers ROS 2, C++ and Python. In the Leadshine web store the right and left versions DH116-R1 and -L1 were priced at USD 2,199 on promotion against a regular 2,299 in October 2026, FOB Shenzhen, with two to four weeks lead time.
