Rochu Hand (biomimetische Hand)

Rochu is a Jiangsu maker of pneumatic soft grippers, with sites in Zhangjiagang and Kunshan and an office in Suzhou, whose catalogue consists of silicone fingers, finger modules and Finger Suit covers for delicate food and fragile parts.

The biomimetic hand attributed to the company in third-party listings is described as a five-finger soft design with a thumb in which fluid-driven artificial muscles pull tendons through a one-to-one replica of the human skeleton.

Neither of the maker's websites, softroboticgripper.com or rochu.com, mentions such a hand: there is no datasheet, no model name, no launch date and no status, and the maker publishes no degrees of freedom, tendon count, weight, payload, sensors or interfaces. Circulating figures and estimated prices are unconfirmed, so the price is on request.

The entry is kept to signal that Rochu's soft grippers are a real product line while the hand itself remains undocumented. Documented soft hands include the pneumatic BionicSoftHand 2.0 and the two-motor qb SoftHand2 Research; the artificial-muscle-and-tendon route is represented by Clone Hand.
