A growing directory, with visible gaps.

Entries include product generations, configurations, research designs and adjacent grippers. The count is not a count of unique current products or proof of complete market coverage.

59 other entries use family, listing or logo references; 16 have no verified image. Price counts include dated material costs and seller offers, not just retail prices. Different mass boundaries remain visible in each entry.

Added in this pass

Still under review

Apptronik Apollo end effectors

Official materials discuss different manipulators and ongoing dexterous-hand work. Exact named hand SKU, revision and hand-only specifications still need primary confirmation; do not create a new product for every integration photo.

Starting source ↗

NEURA 4NE1 hand configurations

Official product page describes exchangeable forearms without a versioned standalone hand specification. Verify the hand maker and configuration before adding a separate model.

Starting source ↗

Tesla later production-hand revisions

The catalog’s 22-DOF entry is the 2024 engineering revision. A later robot generation must have its own primary hand specification before that label or its numbers are updated.

Starting source ↗

Figure 01 and earlier NEO hands

Historical robot names alone do not establish distinct hand designs. Earlier hand revisions need their own dated engineering evidence; current specs must not be copied backward.

Starting source ↗

Additional research and legacy families

RBO Hand 1/2, DLR generations, Krysalis, CYJ and ISyHand-related variants remain outside this pass. Verify original papers, model lineage and current status before importing numbers.

Starting source ↗

Alias and configuration consolidation

Left/right units, motor/sensor options and seller aliases are catalog entries, not automatically unique designs. Linkerbot L10 / L20 Lite equivalence remains explicitly uncertain; avoid merging without maker confirmation.

Starting source ↗

Mand.ro Mark7 robotics configurations

Robotics and prosthetic variants share a family name. Resolve exact robotics configurations, hand-only specifications and current offers before adding separate models.

Starting source ↗

DexHand v2 release status

The repository README and release/licensing language require reconciliation before treating the current design as a reproducible public build.

Starting source ↗

GaiaHand example specifications

Repository specifications are labeled as examples. A versioned hardware release and measured specifications are needed before normalization.

Gap review: 2026-10-02. Targeted October 2 review of new manufacturer listings and missing research platforms. Earlier catalog entries retain their own evidence dates; this is not a re-verification of the whole directory. Evidence standards →
