BrainCo Revo 2 Hand

Order the BrainCo Revo 2 hand in its Touch version and every fingertip carries a multi-dimensional capacitive tactile module. Instead of inferring contact from motor current alone, the hand senses touch directly at the fingertip — the raw signal for contact detection and stiffness recognition while the grasp is still forming.

BrainCo's adaptive-grasping example shows what that unlocks: tactile signals stream in real time, a processor classifies contact and object stiffness, and the controller adjusts finger current on the fly — so the same grip routine holds a foam block, a paper cup or a water bottle without re-tuning. The Touch version also adds EtherCAT alongside RS485 and CAN FD for deterministic, low-latency control cycles.

Every BrainCo Revo 2 hand runs five low-level control modes: move to a position within a set time, move to a position under a speed limit, run at a continuous speed, hold a target current, or hold a PWM duty cycle. Current mode is what makes the Basic version compliant without tactile sensors — the fingers close until they meet resistance and then hold a set force instead of a set angle.

On top of that sits Turbo mode: when a finger stalls against an object, the hand pauses and then keeps re-gripping at 500 ms intervals — a practical way to hold soft or shifting objects that would slowly escape a fixed grasp. Overcurrent, stall, high-temperature and anti-collision protections sit underneath every mode.

The BrainCo Revo 2 hand is sold per hand, and the two sides are mirror builds — they are not interchangeable. The version code carries the side: in every version, the L suffix is the left hand and the R suffix is the right — XRL/XRR for Basic, XTL/XTR for Touch. On the bus, a left hand ships with device ID 126 and a right hand with 127, both re-assignable between 1 and 254 when you run a pair.

Order a single hand for a replacement or for single-arm tasks. For bilateral manipulation, plan a pair — one left hand and one right hand, added as two line items on your quote.

The BrainCo Revo 2 hand has a published Unitree G1 adaptation: BrainCo's integration guide covers both the 23-DoF and the 29-DoF G1, with the hands mounted at the wrist and driven over dual RS-485 serial links — one per hand — under ROS 2, including teleoperation task domains. The same ecosystem covers robotic-arm flange mounting, NVIDIA Isaac Lab simulation assets and data-glove teleoperation.

Revo 2 builds dedicated to the Unitree H2 and R1 also exist as robot-specific SKUs; the hands on this page are the standard XRL/XRR and XTL/XTR versions.

The hand ships worldwide by DHL or FedEx in protective industrial packaging; exact transit time is confirmed with your quote.

Every unit is 100% quality-inspected before it ships, so it arrives in perfect working order.
