The Unitree Dex5-S Pro is the tactile-sensing edition of Unitree's Dex5-S dexterous hand. Touch is the one thing that sets it apart: the standard Dex5-S has no tactile sensing, the Pro does, and everything else is the same hand. Choose the Pro when your work needs to know where and when the fingers make contact, not only where the joints are.

That contact information matters most in teleoperation, in grasping experiments with fragile or deformable objects, and in embodied-AI research, where demonstrations recorded with touch data give a policy more to learn from than joint angles alone. The number, placement and range of the tactile sensors, and how their data reaches your software, are confirmed in writing with the quotation.

Underneath sits a 1:1 human-scale hand with 22 degrees of freedom: five in the thumb, four each in the index, middle and ring fingers and five in the little finger, which gains a roll axis. Every joint has its own backdrivable motor with dual encoders and precision micro gearboxes, and an impact-protection structure shields the gears on all 22. The aluminium-alloy hand weighs 620 g, measures 102 × 187 × 26 mm and holds 1 kg continuously and 2 kg at peak.

It runs from a 15–65 V supply through an XT30 connector at up to 200 W, and talks over two T1s Ethernet ports, high-speed RS-485 or USB at 6 Mbps. Ethernet and USB close the control loop at 1,000 Hz and RS-485 at 50 Hz; each joint reports its mode, position, velocity, torque, temperature, voltage and current. In the Gigabit Ethernet configuration a palm camera plugs straight into the hand. Left or right hand, the palm camera and mounting to your arm or humanoid are confirmed at quote.

Key Capabilities

• Tactile sensing: The Pro adds touch sensing to the Dex5-S hand, so a grasp returns contact information as well as joint position, velocity and torque.
• 22 degrees of freedom: Five in the thumb, four in each of the index, middle and ring fingers, and five in the little finger, which has its own roll axis.
• Backdrivable joints with dual encoders: Each of the 22 joints has its own motor, can be back-driven and reports its position through two encoders.
• Impact protection on every joint: A protection structure shields the gears whenever a joint motor takes an extreme external blow.
• Human-hand scale at 620 g: The aluminium-alloy hand measures 102 × 187 × 26 mm and holds 1 kg continuously and 2 kg at peak.
• 1,000 Hz joint control: Over T1s Ethernet or USB each joint takes mode, position, velocity, torque, stiffness and damping commands at 1,000 Hz, while RS-485 runs at 50 Hz.
• Palm camera without extra cabling: In the Gigabit Ethernet configuration a palm camera plugs straight into the hand.

This model is offered on a quotation basis. Configuration, accessories, integration scope and delivery schedule all change the final figure, so pricing is confirmed per project rather than listed.

Buying through Robotix Market

This unit is sourced new through established distribution channels and ships worldwide with the manufacturer warranty. Technical support is coordinated with the manufacturer's own service network. Deployment scope, configuration, and commissioning responsibilities are agreed as part of the quotation — on-site installation is not included in the product price.
