What is HandOS?
One Platform, Different Modules
For exploration and real world applications.
self.grasp
If you have a humanoid hand and want to see what it can do. One module, ready to run on its own, no cell required.
Hand Control
Control the hand directly.
Set the joint positions or force thresholds, then issue the command and see if the grasp holds on your own parts.
auto.grasp
Identifies the part, tracks it via camera, chooses the grasp and runs it. Four modules that run inside one application.
Grasp Generation
Computes possible grasps.
Takes a part it has not seen before and works out how it can be held.
Vision
Identifies the part.
Locates the part via camera and tracks it while it moves.
Grasp Execution
Chooses the right grasp and executes it.
Selects from the computed grasps and executes the motion on the cell.
Arm Control
Drives the arm carrying the hand.
Moves the industrial robot arm through approach, lift and place.
The part changes. The software adapts.
Conventional automation often requires new tooling and programming for each variant. With HandOS the robot cell adapts to the new part automatically, without need for retooling or reprogramming.
Where HandOS fits
In the Plant
The parts change and require a new EOAT and programming
Long runs are automated. The station where parts change from batch to batch is not. A new fixture and a new program for every variant cost more than the labour they save, so someone keeps loading the machine by hand.
In the Lab
The hand is on the bench, not in the cell.
You bought a multi-finger hand. Getting from a demo to something a production engineer signs off means controlling it, seeing the part, and picking a grasp that holds. Most hands never get that far.
Built to Adapt. Built to Integrate.
Who should use HandOS?
HandOS is built for you if part variance is the reason a workstation is still manual. It it also a fit, if you want to experiment with humanoid hands and learn how to control them.
You are likely a fit if you have:
Machine tending or commissioning processes, where parts change from batch to batch and a new fixture, gripper or program per variant cannot be justified.
Logistics processes require your workers to unpack or offload boxes or pallets, with either part variance as a challenge or carton/ foil removal
You already own a multi-finger hand and it has not moved into demonstration or production.
If you can clearly use vacuum grippers or simple parallel grippers, HandOS will most likely not be a fit.

We will write to you once, when HandOS opens to industrial users. Nothing else.
