Overview

CRAFT Hand Bundle — ROBOTIS Actuator Package

The CRAFT Hand Bundle provides the ROBOTIS hardware components required to build the CRAFT Hand — a compact, tendon-driven anthropomorphic robotic hand designed for dexterous manipulation, robotics research, teleoperation, reinforcement learning, and advanced robotic grasping experiments.

Built around DYNAMIXEL XL330 smart actuators, the CRAFT Hand combines lightweight mechanical design, articulated multi-finger motion, and open-source accessibility into a flexible development platform for researchers, educators, and makers exploring next-generation robotic manipulation systems.

The hand architecture is inspired by modern tendon-driven robotic hand research platforms commonly used in robot learning, human-like grasping, and compliant manipulation systems. Its compact actuator layout and articulated finger structure make it ideal for applications involving adaptive gripping, object interaction, embodied AI, and custom robotic end-effector development.

Important: This bundle contains ROBOTIS products only; certain items required for a complete build — including 3D-printed structural components, power supplies, fasteners, bearings, tendons, and other third-party hardware — are not available from ROBOTIS and must be sourced separately by the builder using the project's official Bill of Materials.

Supported Robotics Workflows

The included hardware supports a wide range of robotics workflows including:

  • Dexterous robotic hand research
  • Teleoperation and motion-retargeting experiments
  • ROS / ROS2 robotics development
  • AI and reinforcement learning environments
  • Human-like grasping and manipulation studies
  • Custom gripper and robotic end-effector prototyping
  • Educational robotics and mechatronics projects

Important — Please Read Before Ordering

⚠ Items NOT Included in This Bundle:
  • Power supply — not available from ROBOTIS; must be sourced separately.
  • 3D-printed structural parts — not available from ROBOTIS; source from the project CAD files or a local print service. Contact us for inquiries about 3D-printed parts pricing.
  • Fasteners, bearings, tendons, and additional hardware — refer to the official project BOM for part numbers; these are third-party components.
Bundle Scope Disclosure: This bundle contains ROBOTIS products only. It does not constitute a complete build kit for the CRAFT Hand. Builders must acquire non-ROBOTIS components independently using the project's official Bill of Materials linked in the Open-Source Project Information section below.

Open-Source Project Information

The CRAFT Hand is an open-source robotic hand project. Design files, assembly instructions, firmware, tendon routing information, and the full BOM are freely available through the project's public repository.

The platform is designed to encourage experimentation in robotic grasping, manipulation research, teleoperation systems, AI-driven robotics workflows, and custom actuator control development.

This bundle supplies the ROBOTIS hardware portion of the build only and does not include software support, documentation, or assembly services.


Who This Bundle Is For

  • Academic and industry researchers working on dexterous manipulation
  • Robotics educators and students building hands-on projects
  • Developers prototyping custom gripper and robotic hand platforms with DYNAMIXEL actuators
  • Makers and engineers exploring affordable articulated hand designs
  • Researchers working with ROS, reinforcement learning, teleoperation, and embodied AI systems

For a full system build, additional components and fabrication are required beyond the contents of this bundle. Please review the official project BOM before ordering.
