- Fully Direct-Drive Architecture Motors couple directly to the joints instead of running through tendons or high-ratio gearboxes, giving faithful force transmission, natural backdrivability and mechanical transparency.
- 20 Active Degrees of Freedom Twenty actively driven joints across five fingers support the finger-level coordination that contact-rich manipulation depends on.
- Visuotactile Fingertip Sensors Every one of the five fingers carries a visuotactile fingertip sensor, so the control system receives contact information rather than joint positions alone.
- 3D Tactile Perception Across the Palm The palm is covered in 3D tactile perception points, extending contact sensing across the whole grasping surface instead of the fingertips only.
- 630 g Human-Scale Build Remarkably light for a 20-DOF hand, which matters because every gram at the wrist multiplies torque demands through the entire arm.
- Integrated Force Control Force control built into the hand lets it modulate grip continuously — demonstrated at WAIC by folding balloons, a task excess pressure would destroy.
Description
The AgiBot OmniHand 3 Ultra-M is a flagship direct-drive dexterous robotic hand developed by AgiBot (AGIBOT Innovation Shanghai Technology Co., Ltd., also known as Zhiyuan Robotics). Unveiled on 18 July 2026 at the World Artificial Intelligence Conference in Shanghai, it is the most advanced member of the OmniHand family and one of four products launched at the event alongside the A3 Ultra humanoid, the G2 Max industrial robot and the X2 Edu education platform.
The hand uses a fully direct-drive design, with motors coupled directly to the joints rather than through tendons or high-ratio gearboxes. That architecture delivers the three properties that matter most for contact-rich manipulation: faithful force transmission for precise control, natural backdrivability for safe compliance on contact, and mechanical transparency that lets control algorithms feel what the hand feels. Combined with integrated force control, the result is a hand that modulates its grip continuously rather than simply opening and closing.
Sensing is dense and distributed. Twenty active degrees of freedom are paired with visuotactile fingertip sensors on all five fingers and a palm covered in 3D tactile perception points, so contact is registered across the whole grasping surface rather than at the fingertips alone. AgiBot lists a lifting capacity of 8 kg.
All of that sits in a human-scale package weighing just 630 grams — a critical property, because every gram at a robot's wrist multiplies torque demands back through the entire arm. The hand is designed for embodied AI training, teleoperation, demonstration capture and contact-rich manipulation, and AgiBot made the point at WAIC with a live demonstration of the hand folding balloons, a task that requires continuous force modulation and that a moment of excess pressure would ruin.
Every unit is sourced new through established distribution channels and arrives with the full manufacturer warranty. Robotix Market ships worldwide; after-sales support is coordinated with AgiBot's service network, and no on-site installation or commissioning is included.

Frequently Asked Questions
It is a flagship dexterous robotic hand designed for embodied AI training, teleoperation, demonstration capture and contact-rich manipulation. With 20 active degrees of freedom, visuotactile fingertips and a tactile palm, it is built for research and development work where fine force modulation matters rather than for simple pick-and-place.
Direct drive means the motors are coupled directly to the joints instead of acting through tendons or high-ratio gearboxes. That gives faithful force transmission for precise control, natural backdrivability so the hand complies safely on contact, and mechanical transparency — the control algorithms can effectively feel what the hand feels.
Visuotactile sensors are fitted to all five fingertips, and the palm is covered in 3D tactile perception points. Contact is therefore registered across the whole grasping surface rather than at the fingertips alone, which is what enables continuous grip modulation.
The hand is supplied on a quotation basis, so pricing is provided on request rather than published. Final cost depends on configuration, destination and shipping terms — request a quote through the product page for a confirmed delivered figure and current lead time.
