Tesollo Moves Into Commercial Humanoid Market With Compact 20-DoF Robotic Hand

• Tesollo has officially commercialized the DG-5F-S, a 5-finger, 20-degree-of-freedom robotic hand built for humanoid robots.
• The company says the new model reduces size and weight while preserving the core structure and manipulation performance of its flagship DG-5F-M.

Tesollo, a company specializing in robotic grippers, has officially commercialized the DG-5F-S, a compact and lightweight humanoid robotic hand. The company said it is moving to capture the high-DoF robotic hand market for humanoid robots and emphasized that the product is not a conceptual unit for research or demonstrations, but a commercial product developed from validated customer needs.

The DG-5F-S features a five-finger, 20-degree-of-freedom joint structure designed for precise grasping and manipulation in humanoid robots. It is built on Tesollo’s dedicated actuator technology and retains the core structure and manipulation performance of the company’s flagship robotic hand, the DG-5F-M, which has been supplied to global customers, but in a smaller and lighter form. Tesollo said the design reflects practical constraints encountered during real-world usage, including weight and size limits, mounting interface conditions, and compatibility with surrounding systems at the platform integration stage. The company is also introducing a 15-degree-of-freedom version for research environments or applications where a smaller hand or lower DoF is sufficient.

According to Valuates Reports, the humanoid five-finger robotic hand market was valued at approximately USD 441 million in 2023 and is projected to reach approximately USD 876 million by 2030. Tesollo said the DG-5F-S addresses commonly cited barriers such as price burden and size constraints, and is expected to lower the threshold for adoption among startups, research institutes, and small to mid-sized companies. The company said the launch supports its plan to strengthen the foundation for humanoid commercialization in Korea.

🌀 Tom’s Take:

Tesollo isn’t introducing a radically new hand architecture. It’s turning a high-DoF robotic hand into something smaller, lighter, and commercially deployable, with integration as the priority.
