Tesollo Launches Robotic Hand as Samsung Expands Humanoid Robotics Development

SEONGNAM, South Korea — Tesollo has commercialized a compact five-finger robotic hand designed to enable robots to perform more dexterous manipulation tasks in humanoid and industrial robotics systems.
The DG-5F-S hand features a five-finger, 20-degree-of-freedom (20-DoF) multi-joint structure designed to support precise grasping and manipulation. The system builds on Tesollo’s DG-5F-M robotic hand but has been redesigned to reduce size and weight while maintaining core manipulation performance.
Tesollo said the robotic hand was developed with platform integration in mind, addressing common deployment constraints such as weight limits, mounting interfaces and compatibility with surrounding robotic systems.
The company also introduced an optional five-finger, 15-degree-of-freedom (15-DoF) version for applications that do not require full articulation or for systems where a smaller robotic hand is needed.
Industry interest in robotic hands is increasing as companies pursue more capable humanoid robots for factory environments. Samsung Electronics recently created a dedicated “Hand Lab” within its Future Robotics Task Force to develop robotic hand structures, actuation systems and high-precision control technologies needed for manipulation tasks.
Samsung said its Hand Lab team is developing robotic hand technologies that include tendon-driven mechanisms modeled after the human hand. The approach moves finger joints using tendons routed through the arm rather than motors in each finger, a design intended to allow smoother and more precise manipulation of objects.
Samsung also plans to integrate tactile sensing into its robotic hand technology, allowing robots to detect pressure, texture and slippage when grasping objects. Those signals could allow robotic systems to adjust grip and movement in real time when performing manipulation tasks.

According to Valuates Reports, the global market for humanoid five-finger robotic hands is projected to reach about $876 million by 2030.
Tesollo said the DG-5F-S was developed using usage data and field feedback from customers deploying the DG-5F-M robotic hand. The company described the system as a commercial product intended for integration into robotic platforms rather than a research prototype.
The company said the smaller size and reduced cost of the system are intended to lower barriers to adopting dexterous robotic hands for robotics developers, research institutions and smaller technology companies.
Growing investment in robotic hands reflects a broader focus on dexterity in robotics. While industrial robots perform repetitive tasks efficiently, assembling delicate components or handling irregular objects requires precise finger motion and grip control — capabilities that have historically limited wider automation of human-like tasks.
