The Mia Hand

miahand1.png

Mia is a robotic anthropomorphic end-effector, suitable in: flexible manufacturing plants, social and/or humanoid collaborative robots, bio-automation, ergonomics, prosthetics, human-machine interface research, and wherever a gripper with hand-like features may become handy. The three embedded motors allow to interact with the environment and to grasp objects and tools using power, precision and lateral grasps. Embedded force sensors allow to regulate the grasping force. Embedded functions and a simple control interface based on RS-232 makes integration seamless, saving you money and time. Being extremely lightweight (~500 g) but still powerful (up to 70 N grip force), Mia offers the good balance between flexibility and performance. Designed and engineered by Prensilia, Mia is made in Italy, and it has been awarded with the Red Dot Design Award 2019, and obtained the honorable mention in The Plan Award 2019. For additional info see Mia home page.
