Ruka-v2: Tendon Driven Open-Source Dexterous Hand with Wrist and Abduction for Robot Learning

Lack of accessible and dexterous robot hardware has been a significant bottleneck to achieving human-level dexterity in robots. Last year, we released Ruka, a fully open-sourced, tendon-driven humanoid hand with 11 degrees of freedom - 2 per finger and 3 at the thumb - buildable for under $1,300. It was one of the first fully open-sourced humanoid hands, and introduced a novel data-driven approach to finger control that captures tendon dynamics within the control system. Despite these contributions, Ruka lacked two degrees of freedom essential for closely imitating human behavior: wrist mobility and finger adduction/abduction. In this paper, we introduce Ruka-v2: a fully open-sourced, tendon-driven humanoid hand featuring a decoupled 2-DOF parallel wrist and abduction/adduction at the fingers. The parallel wrist adds smooth, independent flexion/extension and radial/ulnar deviation, enabling manipulation in confined environments such as cabinets. Abduction enables motions such as grasping thin objects, in-hand rotation, and calligraphy. We present the design of Ruka-v2 and evaluate it against Ruka through user studies on teleoperated tasks, finding a 51.3% reduction in completion time and a 21.2% increase in success rate. We further demonstrate its full range of applications for robot learning: bimanual and single-arm teleoperation across 13 dexterous tasks, and autonomous policy learning on 3 tasks. All 3D print files, assembly instructions, controller software, and videos are available at https://ruka-hand-v2.github.io/ .
