Overview

The Unitree Dex1-1 is a two-jaw parallel gripper listed among Unitree's hand modules; it is not a five-finger dexterous hand. A single motor (Unitree M4010) with 1:25 reduction and a 15-bit absolute encoder drives two jaws with a 90 mm stroke. Grip force is adjustable from 5 to 120 N; it carries 20 kg in a form-fit grasp and 5 kg when holding by friction.

The gripper is controlled at 1000 Hz over RS-485 and weighs 550 g. The advanced version adds a 1080p camera. Unitree states that the Dex1-1 can be used standalone and with the G1, H2 and R1; teleoperation, Isaac Lab and LeRobot configurations are published. As the official distributor of Unitree Robotics in Turkey, Robotlar.org handles Dex1-1 supply through a corporate quotation.

Key Advantages

A Gripper, Not a Hand

The Dex1-1 is a two-jaw parallel gripper: two jaws close together on a single axis, and there are no fingers or finger joints.

  • (1) This design does one thing a dexterous hand does not: it runs repeated pick-and-place work with simple control and a high, adjustable grip force.
  • (2) For tasks that need in-hand reorientation or tool use, five-finger hands are assessed.

Grip Adjustable From 5 to 120 N

Grip force is adjustable from 5 to 120 N.

  • (1) The load is 20 kg in a form-fit grasp and 5 kg when holding by friction alone.
  • (2) Jaw speed is 50 to 375 mm/s; the 90 mm full stroke completes in 0.24 seconds at the fastest.
  • (3) A 0.1 mm position resolution at the fingertip is given.

Single Motor: M4010

The gripper is driven by a single motor; Unitree's dex1_1_service repository identifies it as the Unitree M4010 joint motor.

  • (1) Reduction is 1:25 and peak torque 5 N·m.
  • (2) Position is measured by a 15-bit absolute encoder.
  • (3) Feedback consists of joint angle, speed, torque and temperature.
Unitree Dex1-1, Single Motor: M4010

Advanced Version: 1080p Camera

The advanced version adds a 1080p camera to the gripper: 30 or 60 fps, a 118° x 87° field of view (140° diagonal).

  • Because the camera sees the grasp up close, it serves as a wrist camera in imitation learning data.
  • The standard version has no camera.

Dimensions and Connection

Half open, the gripper measures 143 x 78 x 67 mm; 120 mm fully open and 124.5 mm closed; it weighs 550 g.

  • (1) Communication runs over high-speed RS-485 at 6 Mbps and 1000 Hz.
  • (2) Supply is 24 to 64 V; 24 or 48 V is recommended.
  • The technical drawing in the image comes from the manufacturer's product page.

G1, H2, R1 and Standalone

Unitree states that the Dex1-1 can be used standalone and with the G1, H2 and R1.

  • (1) dex1_1_service converts serial communication to DDS and runs on the robot's PC2 (Jetson Orin NX) computer.
  • (2) xr_teleoperate runs XR teleoperation with the --ee dex1 option.
  • (3) unitree_sim_isaaclab and unitree_lerobot include Dex1 configurations.

Which robot for which job?

The Unitree Dex1-1 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.

Unitree Dex1-1 use case: Pick-and-place data collection on a humanoid

Pick-and-place data collection on a humanoid

The team teleoperates a G1 or H2 with the Dex1-1 Advanced; the gripper camera records the grasp, and the data is prepared for training with the unitree_lerobot configuration. A single-axis gripper simplifies the hand side of the learning problem.
