Each joint in the Dex5-S is backdrivable to improve safety around humans and facilitate teleoperation. The hand supports a continuous load of 1 kg and a peak load of 2 kg, with grasp loads reaching 4.5 kg depending on the grip. Impact torque protection is integrated into every joint to shield gears from overloads, utilizing a low-backlash, low-damping reducer to maintain mechanical transparency.
