The hand is commercially available in pneumatic- and electric-actuated models and currently used in a wide range of institutions including NASA, Bielefeld University, and Carnegie Mellon University, as well as EU research projects such as HANDLE. The Shadow Dexterous Hand is the first commercially available robot hand from the company, following a series of prototype humanoid hand and arm systems.
