Hey everyone 👋 We built Aero Hand Open because we believe dexterous robotics shouldn’t be locked behind high cost and proprietary hardware. It’s a fully 3D-printable, tendon-driven robotic hand that anyone can build — lightweight, modular, and powered by open-source firmware with ROS2 support. What makes it unique is how simple and accessible it is: optimized print orientation, one-click assembly, and a complete BOM under $314. You can use it for research, education, or as a foundation for your own robotic experiments. We’re incredibly proud to share this with the open-source community and can’t wait to see what you’ll create with it 🤖 Feel free to ask questions or share your feedback below — we’d love to hear from you!

Wow... While eating my sandwich for lunch today, I was literally thinking that I would love to have a pair of robot hands to turn the pages of a book I'm reading (I know, I still do that). And then I see this. ✨
