Overview

The BrainCo Revo 2 is the lightweight five-finger robot hand in the RevoLimb family from BrainCo (Chinese 强脑科技). 6 of its 11 degrees of freedom are active; the thumb has 2 active and 1 passive joint, and each other finger 1 active and 1 passive. Weighing 383 g without the wrist, it offers a five-finger grip of 50 N or more, a whole-hand load of 20 kg or more and 0.1° repeatability.

The Basic version uses RS485 or CAN FD, while the Pro and Touch versions add EtherCAT; Touch adds 3D force and proximity sensing per finger. Unitree G1 integration for the Revo 2 is published in both BrainCo and Unitree repositories, and the hand is among the Booster T2's factory end effector options. BrainCo sells the hand on request only. Robotlar.org offers the Revo 2 to research labs and humanoid or robot arm integrators in Turkey through enterprise sourcing, technical specification support and integration engineering.

Which robot for which job?

The BrainCo Revo 2 is a candidate for all of these jobs; in each scenario our catalogue also holds other bodies that can do the same work. The right robot follows from the job itself and the delivery timeline.

BrainCo Revo 2 use case: A five-finger hand for the Unitree G1

A five-finger hand for the Unitree G1

A lab running a G1 wants a five-finger hand instead of a three-finger one. For the Revo 2 both BrainCo's G1 integration repository and Unitree's brainco_hand_service repository are published; teleoperation runs through Unitree's xr_teleoperate tool. Mechanical mounting and wiring are verified within the project.

A dexterous hand with the Booster T2

An organisation buying a T2 wants the end effector installed and tested at the factory. Booster's documentation lists the Revo 2 among the T2 options, and the T2_31dof_Revo2Hand model is ready for simulation. The hand choice is written into the T2 quotation's configuration.

What is the BrainCo Revo 2?

The BrainCo Revo 2 is a lightweight five-finger robot hand from BrainCo (Chinese 强脑科技). 6 of its 11 degrees of freedom are active, and it weighs 383 g without the wrist. It comes in Basic, Pro and Touch versions.

Can the Revo 2 be mounted on a Unitree G1?

Yes, there are two official sources. BrainCo's unitree-g1-brainco-hand repository describes integration on the G1's 23 and 29-DoF versions with dual RS-485 and ROS 2, and Unitree's brainco_hand_service repository states that the G1 can be equipped with the Revo 2. Whether the hand is sold pre-integrated with the G1 is not stated; mounting and wiring are verified within the project.

What is the difference between Basic, Pro and Touch?

Basic uses RS485 or CAN FD (by DIP switch) and runs on 12 to 28 V. Pro offers RS485, CAN FD and EtherCAT and runs on 12 to 64 V. Touch adds 3D force and proximity sensing per finger to the Pro.

How much force does the Revo 2 apply and how much load can it carry?

The manufacturer's documentation gives a five-finger grip of 50 N or more, a pinch force of 15 N or more and a whole-hand load of 20 kg or more. Finger flexion and extension take 0.65 seconds or less.
