IH2 Azzurra is a self-contained robotic hand with all functional components (actuators, sensors and control electronics) embedded in its palm and its under-actuated fingers.
The IH2 Azzurra has a high number of degrees of freedom, and its integrated force sensors allow it to perform various types of grips and detect when an object is grasped. The hand comes with a simple communication interface (UART over USB or Bluetooth)
It is the perfect tool to test and validate human-machine interfaces (either invasive or non-invasive) and control (EMG, ENG, EEG) and sensory feedback systems. Thanks to its light weight and the anthropomorphic shape, it is also suitable as collaborative end-effector for robotic arms with limited payload. IH2 Azzurra is the perfect research platform for humanoid robotics, ergonomics, human-robot interaction, control algorithms.
