uSkin®

For LEAP Hand

by Carnegie Mellon University

The LEAP Hand, developed by Carnegie Mellon University, is a dexterous and anthropomorphic robotic hand built for high-performance manipulation tasks. Its novel kinematic structure maintains consistent dexterity across a wide range of finger poses, making it suitable for complex handling applications.

XELA Robotics has equipped the LEAP Hand with 368 integrated tactile sensors, providing high-resolution contact feedback across the entire hand surface. This enables precise control, improved adaptability, and enhanced reliability in demanding environments.

This combination offers a capable and accessible solution for industries requiring advanced robotic manipulation with detailed tactile awareness.
