AgiBot OmniHand Series

AgiBot OmniHand Series in Asia: Dexterous Robot Hands for Embodied AI Deployment

The OmniHand Series' Asia-Pacific significance extends beyond product availability: the OmniHand is specifically documented as one of the data collection instruments used in AGIBOT WORLD 2026, AgiBot's large-scale embodied AI training dataset program. Humanoid Robotics Technology's coverage of AgiBot World 2026 confirmed: "The system incorporates Zhixing 90D grippers and the dexterous OmniHand, enabling the capture of synchronized multi-modal data, including RGB(D), tactile signals, LiDAR point clouds, IMU data, and full-body joint states." This integration positions the OmniHand not only as an end-effector product but as part of the data generation infrastructure behind AgiBot's most advanced AI capabilities.

AgiBot's Modular End-Effector Philosophy

One Wrist Interface, Multiple Hand Configurations

The strategic commercial advantage of the OmniHand Series for Asia-Pacific buyers is the modular wrist interface that enables interchangeability between all OmniHand and OmniPicker variants without robot arm reconfiguration. A research laboratory can deploy OmniHand 2025 for interactive tasks requiring tactile sensitivity and 400-plus force control points, swap to OmniHand Pro 2025 for higher-DOF precision tasks, or mount OmniPicker 3 for high-force industrial applications, all on the same robot arm.

This interchangeability is commercially significant for Asia-Pacific organizations evaluating the OmniHand for deployment contexts that vary across their robot fleet. A hospital that deploys an AgiBot A2 for patient guidance and a G2 for supply logistics can use OmniHand 2025 on the A2 for gentle patient interaction and OmniPicker 3 on the G2 for industrial supply handling, with both end-effectors sharing the same CAN FD communication interface and compatible software stack.

AgiBot's document center, confirmed by Robots International's OmniHand Series documentation, lists both OmniHand 2025 and OmniHand Pro 2025 with separate technical specification PDFs updated February 1, 2026, and SDK resources including GitHub-hosted ROS 2 drivers and URDF/3D model files for simulation integration.

OmniHand 2025: The Interactive Entry-Tier Hand

Overview and Commercial Positioning

The OmniHand 2025 (model designation O10, from AgiBot's official product page URL) is described by AgiBot's official product page as "Compact High-DOF Interactive Dexterous Hand, Small Form Factor, Seamless Compatibility." It is positioned as the interactive tier of the OmniHand family: prioritizing safe, tactile human-robot interaction over maximum industrial grip force.

AgiBot's official product page confirms three design priorities: "Light weight and Agile," "Interactive and Versatile," and "Safe and User-Friendly." The anti-pinch design and 400-plus touch-sensitive force control points directly address the safety requirement for human-facing interaction contexts, where the hand must detect contact with human skin and release grip force before injury risk develops.

Specifications

From AgiBot's official product page and RCDrone distributor documentation:

Total Length: 180 mm Weight: 500 g Degrees of Freedom: 16 total (10 active) Touch-Sensitive Force Control Points: 400+ Communication: RS485 and CAN FD Package Contents: Hand, RS485 and CANFD communication cables, power cable, USB-C data cable, certificate of conformity Variants: OmniHand 2025 (standard) and OmniHand 2025 w/Tactile (with integrated tactile sensor array)

The 400-Point Force Control System

The 400-plus touch-sensitive force control points distributed across the OmniHand 2025's surface represent the physical sensing infrastructure that enables the hand's safe interaction capability. Unlike conventional robot grippers that detect contact only at the fingertip or through motor current monitoring, the OmniHand 2025's distributed force sensing detects contact across the full hand surface, enabling the robot to respond to incidental contact anywhere on the hand rather than only at the planned grasp points.

For Asia-Pacific hospitality and healthcare deployment contexts where the OmniHand is mounted on an A2 humanoid interacting with guests and patients, this distributed contact sensing is the safety prerequisite for close-proximity human-robot interaction that builds user comfort rather than triggering the injury concern that sudden robot contact can create.

OmniHand Pro 2025: Industrial Dexterous Manipulation

Overview and Commercial Positioning

The OmniHand Pro 2025 is AgiBot's industrial-tier dexterous hand, described in the store.agibot.com listing as "Highly integrated all-round dexterous hand with powerful sensing and exceptional capabilities. Representing a new class of high-DOF commercial dexterous hands, it combines a compact, lightweight form factor with impressive load capacity, precision, speed, and multi-modal tactile sensing to enable intelligent task execution."

American Satellite's detailed OmniHand Pro documentation provides the most complete English-language product description available: "OmniHand Pro 2025 adopts a human-inspired layout with an opposable thumb, three identical central fingers, and a supportive little finger. Joint centers and phalange lengths are optimized for everyday objects — bottles, cartons, tools, appliance controls. Positioned above entry-level grippers and classroom hands, the Pro variant emphasizes tactile perception, serviceable mechanics, and a developer-first software stack (including ROS 2 drivers) to accelerate policy learning and real-world integration."

Specifications

From AgiBot's store.agibot.com and American Satellite's distributor documentation:

Degrees of Freedom: 19 DoF Weight: 820 g Configuration: Anthropomorphic five-finger (opposable thumb, three central fingers, supportive little finger) Grasp Force: 35 to 60 Newtons sustained power grasp Communication Interface: CAN FD (standard interface for compatibility with mainstream robotic arms and humanoid robots including AgiBot G1, AgiBot A2) Applications: Industrial precision tasks, grasping and sorting, professional tool operation, imitation learning, reinforcement learning Developer Resources: SDK on GitHub, URDF/3D model files, ROS 2 drivers

CAN FD Interface for Broad Compatibility

The CAN FD (Controller Area Network with Flexible Data-rate) interface is an industrial standard for real-time robotic communication, providing deterministic low-latency command and sensor data transmission appropriate for the millisecond-level control loops required for dexterous hand manipulation. AgiBot's store documentation confirms the OmniHand Pro's "standardized interface (CAN FD interface) for compatibility with mainstream robotic arms and humanoid robots (e.g., AgiBot G1, AgiBot A2)" and explicitly notes 3D models available for download prior to purchase to conduct compatibility tests.

This compatibility documentation is directly relevant for Asia-Pacific research institutions and system integrators who may want to deploy the OmniHand Pro on non-AgiBot platforms, as the CAN FD standard is shared across many robotic arm manufacturers in the Asian industrial robotics market.

Tendon-Driven Actuation and Contact-Aware Grasping

Robots Europa's OmniHand 2025 technical documentation describes the hand's "tendon-driven actuation, compliant mechanics, and multi-zone tactile sensing" as the enabling architecture for "contact-rich manipulation." Tendon-driven actuation routes cable forces from proximal actuators through the hand structure to the fingertips, enabling the slim, lightweight finger profile that full-finger actuation with bulky motor placement at each joint cannot achieve while maintaining the precise force control needed for grip force calibration on delicate or irregular objects.

Contact-aware grasping, enabled by the tactile arrays with slip detection confirmed in Robots Europa's documentation, delivers "gentle, stable grasps on soft, glossy, or irregular items" that conventional parallel grippers cannot reliably achieve. For Asia-Pacific logistics and retail applications where packages include both rigid boxes and soft flexible bags, the contact-aware approach maintains grip quality across the full range of handled item surfaces.

OmniHand 3 Series: The APC 2026 Generation

OmniHand 3 Ultra-T and OmniHand 3 Lite

At APC 2026 (April 17-18, 2026), AgiBot unveiled the OmniHand 3 Ultra-T as part of the "Omni 3 Series" end-effector portfolio alongside the OmniPicker 3. BotInfo's APC 2026 coverage confirmed the OmniHand 3 Ultra-T as one of four new product platforms launched alongside the Expedition A3, G2 Air, and D2 Max. The APC 2026 "Deployment Year One" declaration positions the OmniHand 3 Ultra-T as the next-generation dexterous hand supporting AgiBot's production-scale deployment ambitions for 2026.

The OmniHand 3 Lite provides a compact industrial configuration in the same Omni 3 generation framework, offering Asia-Pacific buyers a lighter, more compact dexterous hand option within the same wrist interface ecosystem.

OmniPicker 3: Industrial Gripper for High-Force Applications

The OmniPicker 3 is the force-focused industrial gripper complement to the OmniHand dexterous hand family. AgiBot's OmniPicker documentation confirms 140 Newtons of grip force (approximately 2.3 to 4 times the OmniHand Pro 2025's 35 to 60 Newton sustained grasp force), a rated durability of 1,000,000 cycles, and modular tactile sensing for contact-aware industrial gripping.

The 140 Newton force capacity and 1,000,000-cycle rated durability position the OmniPicker 3 specifically for the high-intensity industrial applications where dexterous hand precision is secondary to grip security and mechanical longevity. In the Longcheer Technology G2 deployment context, the OmniPicker provides the high-cycle grip force needed for high-speed tablet production line pick-and-place, while the OmniHand variants serve the more dexterous but lower-force applications such as precision component placement and tool handling.

OmniHand in AGIBOT WORLD 2026: Asia's AI Training Role

The OmniHand's most strategically significant contribution in Asia is not its commercial deployment in service or industrial contexts but its role as data collection hardware for AGIBOT WORLD 2026. Humanoid Robotics Technology's April 7, 2026 coverage confirms: the data collection system "incorporates Zhixing 90D grippers and the dexterous OmniHand, enabling the capture of synchronized multi-modal data, including RGB(D), tactile signals, LiDAR point clouds, IMU data, and full-body joint states."

This means the OmniHand's tactile sensors generate part of the training data for the AI models that power AgiBot's entire product family. The tactile signals collected by OmniHand-equipped robots during the AGIBOT WORLD 2026 dataset collection program contribute to training the manipulation policies that will run on OmniHand-equipped G2s and A2s across Asia-Pacific commercial deployments. For Asia-Pacific research institutions evaluating the OmniHand Pro for imitation learning research, this integration with AgiBot's active large-scale dataset program provides a direct contribution pathway to the embodied AI training frontier.

Applications in Asia-Pacific

Research and University Robotics Programs

The OmniHand 2025 and Pro 2025's ROS 2 drivers, URDF models, SDK resources, and GitHub-hosted developer tools position them specifically for Asia-Pacific university robotics departments and research institutions working on embodied AI, imitation learning, and manipulation policy research. Japan's RIKEN and University of Tokyo robotics programs, South Korea's KAIST and POSTECH robotics groups, and Singapore's NUS and NTU robotics research centers all represent natural institutional buyers for the OmniHand Pro as a manipulation research platform.

Industrial Assembly and Logistics

The OmniHand Pro's 19-DoF anthropomorphic configuration and CAN FD compatibility with the G2 wheeled industrial humanoid position it for deployment on the G2 in precision assembly tasks, tool handling, and component picking applications across Asia's manufacturing sectors. The Longcheer Technology G2 deployment documented in The Robot Report used OmniHand-class end-effectors for the tablet pick-and-place and MMIT station operations.

Healthcare and Service Applications

The OmniHand 2025's 400-plus force control points, anti-pinch design, and gentle interaction capability position it for healthcare and service applications where the hand must interact safely with patients, elderly residents, and members of the public. For Asia-Pacific aged care facilities evaluating AgiBot A2 deployments where the humanoid robot assists residents with object retrieval, medication delivery, or gentle physical assistance, the OmniHand 2025's safe interaction design is the appropriate end-effector configuration.

Summary

The AgiBot OmniHand Series is the dexterous manipulation layer of AgiBot's complete Asia-Pacific embodied AI ecosystem, enabling the G2 industrial humanoid for precision assembly, the A2 service humanoid for safe human interaction, and the broader OmniHand-equipped robot fleet for AgiBot World 2026 multi-modal training data collection. From the OmniHand 2025's 400-point tactile interactive entry tier through the OmniHand Pro 2025's 19-DoF CAN FD industrial precision tier and the OmniPicker 3's 140-Newton industrial gripper tier to the OmniHand 3 Ultra-T's next-generation capabilities announced at APC 2026, the series provides Asia-Pacific researchers, system integrators, and commercial operators with the complete range of dexterous end-effector capabilities needed for embodied AI research and industrial deployment within a unified modular wrist interface ecosystem.
