Changingtek Robotics has introduced Uhand, a high-precision tactile data collection hand developed in-house to support embodied intelligence research, precision manipulation tasks and robotics algorithm validation. The device is designed to capture synchronized multidimensional and multimodal data, including visual, pose, force and tactile datasets. According to the company, the hand includes a tactile array with a spatial resolution of 2.34 taxels per square centimetre and supports force detection from 0 to 160 N, with sensing precision of 0.1 N.
Uhand achieves XYZ positioning accuracy of 0.7 mm, pose precision of up to 0.01 degrees and data capture at 30 frames per second. The collected datasets can be used for artificial intelligence model training and robotics algorithm development.
The hardware is supported by Changingtek’s proprietary software suite, which provides real-time data processing and visualization. The company said the system is compatible with major operating systems, robot control frameworks and algorithm development platforms. It is built on an architecture consistent with the motion logic and communication protocols used across Changingtek’s gripper products.
The device weighs 600 grams and offers up to four hours of battery runtime, allowing it to be used in field deployment settings. Changingtek said the product is intended to support the data collection process required for embodied intelligence research and the development of robotic manipulation systems.
Changingtek Robotics, based in Suzhou, China, develops dexterous robotic hands, robotic end-effectors and embodied intelligent robot systems. The company’s product portfolio includes industrial parallel grippers, collaborative grippers, multi-fingered dexterous hands and heavy-duty grippers, with payload capacities ranging from grams to several hundred kilograms. The company serves sectors including aerospace, automotive manufacturing and smart logistics, using tactile-visual fusion and artificial intelligence control algorithms in its robotic grasping products.
