The Linkerbot Linker Hand O6 is a lightweight five-finger dexterous hand designed for integration on collaborative robot arms, industrial robot wrists, and mobile manipulation platforms. With 6 degrees of freedom across 11 joints—6 active and 5 passive—the O6 balances grasp dexterity with mechanical simplicity, enabling a broad range of grip postures without the mass or complexity of fully anthropomorphic platforms. Worm-gear transmission provides high torque density and positional stiffness, contributing to a repeat positioning accuracy of ±0.2 mm and a five-finger grip force of up to 130 N. At approximately 370 g, the hand minimises payload burden on the host robot while supporting a maximum thumb tip force of 28 N and four-finger tip force of 33 N.

The O6 communicates over CAN or RS485 from a standard DC 24 V supply, making it straightforward to integrate into existing automation cells and embedded control systems. An optional tactile sensor configuration adds force-aware fingertip feedback for applications where preventing object crushing or detecting slip is important. The compact envelope—approximately 177 mm tall by 76.5 mm wide—allows deployment on smaller robot wrists and constrained platforms. Commissioning is handled through a USB-to-CAN debugging cable, and the hand is suited to logistics handling, light industrial assembly, and research into grasp planning and manipulation learning.
