The Unitree Dex5-1 is the 20-DoF model in Unitree Robotics' five-finger dexterous hand family; Unitree introduced the hand in March 2025 under the name "Dex5". It has 4 joints in the thumb and 3 in each of the other four fingers; 16 joints are active and 4 are passive. All 12 force-controlled and 4 geared micro joints are back-drivable.
The manufacturer publishes a fingertip force of 10 N, ±1 mm fingertip repeatability, a 4.5 kg load palm sideways, 1000 Hz communication over USB 2.0 and a weight of 1,100 g. The Dex5-1P version adds 94 tactile sensors in 12 pressure arrays. The Unitree H1 page names the Dex5-1 as an optional hand. As the official distributor of Unitree Robotics in Turkey, Robotlar.org handles Dex5-1 supply through a corporate quotation.

Dex5-1
Grasping and manipulation research, projects that run on joint and camera data.
Dex5-1P
The tactile version for projects that need contact force, slip or fragile-object handling.
The use cases the manufacturer defines for the Unitree Dex5-1.
The Dex5-1 carries 20 degrees of freedom across five fingers: 4 joints in the thumb and 3 in each of the other four fingers.
The manufacturer gives a fingertip force of 10 N and a load of 3.5 kg palm down and 4.5 kg palm sideways; the load is defined with a round rigid object 5 cm in diameter.
The Dex5-1P version has 94 sensors in total in 12 pressure arrays: a 2x5 array in the palm and 2x3 arrays at the fingertip, pad and root areas.
The hand connects over USB 2.0 and communicates at 1000 Hz; the manufacturer gives an outgoing packet of 1234 bytes and an incoming packet of 1270 bytes.
The manufacturer states that each of the five fingers can be replaced independently.
The manufacturer publishes the angle range of each joint.
The Unitree H1 page names the Dex5-1: "Dex5-1 or other ambidextrous hands" (optional).
The Unitree Dex5-1 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.
The lab records the 94 pressure points in the palm and fingers of the Dex5-1P together with joint data, and tests force limits and slip detection on fragile objects. The 10 g to 2,500 g range covers light objects as well.
The Dex5-1, named on the H1 page, is assessed for five-finger manipulation on a full-size humanoid platform. Its 1,100 g weight and load of up to 4.5 kg are calculated together with the wrist and arm payload limit.
The team brings the Dex5-1 URDF model from the unitree_ros repository into simulation, trains the policy with the published joint angle limits and transfers it to the real hand over the 1000 Hz USB line. How the passive joints are coupled in the model is verified separately in the simulation setup.

The most common questions about the Unitree Dex5-1.
The Unitree Dex5-1 is a dexterous hand with 20 degrees of freedom across five fingers (16 active, 4 passive). Its 12 force-controlled and 4 geared micro joints are back-drivable. Unitree introduced the hand in an official video in March 2025 under the name "Dex5".
The mechanical values are the same. The Dex5-1P has 94 tactile sensors in total in 12 pressure arrays (range 10 g to 2,500 g); the standard Dex5-1 has no tactile sensors.
The manufacturer gives a weight of 1,100 g (1.1 kg). With a round rigid object 5 cm in diameter, the load is 3.5 kg palm down and 4.5 kg palm sideways. Fingertip force is 10 N.
The Unitree H1 page names the Dex5-1 as an optional hand. The H2, H2-D, R1-D and G1-D pages list a five-finger dexterous hand option without naming the model. The platform and hand pairing is verified at the quotation stage.
USB 2.0, at a 1000 Hz communication rate. Supply is 24 to 60 V; at 58 V the static current is 0.2 A and the maximum current 4 A.
The manufacturer gives 217.3 x 127.5 x 72.1 mm and notes that the final shipped version may differ. Mounting design is verified against the drawing of the version to be delivered.
Yes. The manufacturer states that each of the five fingers can be replaced independently. A spare-finger plan is discussed separately in the quotation.
Unitree's unitree_ros repository includes left and right hand URDF models for the Dex5-1. Unitree's xr_teleoperate teleoperation tool has no ready option for the Dex5 hands.
