Gernoid Announces Dual Hand Dexterity System

Gernoid has revealed its innovative strategy for achieving human-level hand dexterity in its humanoid robots, developing two distinct hand systems optimized for different industrial applications.

Lagos, Nigeria – Gernoid has revealed its innovative strategy for achieving human-level hand dexterity in its humanoid robots, developing two distinct hand systems optimized for different industrial applications.

Two Hands, Multiple Solutions

Rather than pursuing a single hand design, Gernoid is developing two complementary approaches that address different market needs while maintaining high performance standards.

Approach 1: Independent Joint Actuators

The first system uses Gernoid's custom actuators to power each finger joint independently, mimicking the way human hands have separate muscles controlling each finger movement.

This design provides maximum flexibility for complex manipulation tasks, precise control for handling delicate or fragile items, individual finger adjustments for irregular object shapes, and fine motor control for assembly and inspection work.

"Think of tasks like electronics assembly, sorting pharmaceuticals, or handling fresh produce," explained Chimdi, Co-founder and CEO. "These require the ability to adjust grip pressure, reposition fingers independently, and handle items with care. Our independent joint system excels at these delicate operations."

Approach 2: Claw Mechanism

The second approach uses intelligent mechanical design to achieve the same degrees of freedom with fewer actuators. Similar to how a gear system allows one motor to control multiple movements, this claw mechanism delivers robust performance at lower cost.

Benefits include reduced complexity and maintenance requirements, lower manufacturing costs, increased durability for demanding environments, and powerful grip strength for industrial applications.

"For warehouse sorting, heavy package handling, or industrial material movement, you need reliability and strength more than delicate touch," the company noted. "The claw mechanism is perfect for these high-volume, demanding tasks."

Right Tool for the Right Job

By developing both systems in parallel, Gernoid can offer customers the optimal solution for their specific needs. Delicate assembly lines might deploy robots with independent joint hands, while logistics warehouses could use the more robust claw mechanism.

"Different jobs need different solutions," said Chimdi, Co-founder and CEO. "A hospital delivering meals needs gentleness. A warehouse sorting boxes needs durability. We're building both so customers get the best performance at the right price point."

Development Timeline

Gernoid is currently testing prototypes of both hand systems in simulated work environments. The company expects to demonstrate both approaches publicly in the coming months, with initial deployments planned for select partner organizations.
