PL-WitHand

PL-WitHand comes from PL-Universe, a company founded in January 2025 in Suzhou Industrial Park, and it mixes two drive principles: micro servo electric cylinders and micro servo motors housed in the hand move the fingers partly through tendons and partly through linkages. The maker describes the layout as 16+4 degrees of freedom, sixteen actuated and four passive, across five fingers with an integrated wrist.

The hand weighs 800 g, carries a 10 kg load and grips with 15 N at the thumb and 10 N at the other fingers; positioning repeats to ±0.20 mm. The sensor set is broad for a hand in this class: fingertip tactile sensors with 0.1 N resolution, image sensors, joint-angle sensors and six-axis force sensors. Integration runs through ROS 2. Dimensions and supply voltage are not published.

The hand is aimed at industry, research and services, and the price is on request. Among Chinese hands with a similar joint count it compares with the GMH18, which has denser tactile coverage, or the lighter Linker Hand O6, which offers far fewer degrees of freedom.
