BrainCo just released the Revo 3 dexterous hand

A 21-DoF dexterous hand built fully on direct-drive, backdrivable joints — designed for precision, speed, and control beyond typical robotic hands.

It integrates full-palm tactile sensing at 0.01N resolution, plus fingertip visuotactile sensing capable of detecting ~130μm deformation. That combination matters: it enables stable in-hand manipulation instead of just grasping. 

Revo 3 hits 20N pinch force while maintaining fine control, and runs at 500Hz control frequency across position, impedance, MIT force-position, and zero-torque modes. It supports EtherCAT, CAN FD, and RS485, with a wide 12–80V operating range — clearly built for real deployment, not just lab setups. On motion, it runs 3Hz open-close cycles, covers 33 grasp types, and reportedly exceeds human hand range in Kapandji testing. The bigger signal is integration: full tactile + visuotactile + sim2real + open ecosystem, with one-click deployment.

This is what a production-ready dexterous hand stack starts to look like.
