Droid/Robot hand evidence record

TESOLLO DG-5F-S · 20 DoF

Keep the 20-DoF and 15-DoF configurations separate, select the matching ROS model, and distinguish optional tactile sensing from fitted hardware.

20-DoF configuration; separate from optional 15-DoF

Can the same DG-5F-S model and launch files be used for both joint configurations?

The product offers a separate 15-DoF option, and the ROS package publishes distinct 20-DoF and 15-DoF launch paths. Match the ordered configuration to its model and controller. This record covers the 20-DoF product specification.

What this means for the control loop

Droid’s analysis of the cited documentation:

  1. Joint count affects the command vector, robot description and retargeting map. A physically similar hand with a different configuration is not a drop-in software substitute.
  2. The S model uses a different mode-selection panel from the M model. Follow its DIP-switch instructions; a successful mock-hardware launch does not verify the physical device mode.
  3. The lighter published mass and higher stated control frequency do not establish better task performance. Compare the complete fitted tool and the same payload, object friction, controller and sensing setup.

Documented components and software paths

Included sensing, optional hardware and software dependencies are different relationship types. These records do not infer undisclosed suppliers or part numbers.

TESOLLO SDK-to-ROS bridge

Optional SDK bridge uses an x86-64 library. The direct ROS hardware path is distinct.

Still to establish

  • Sensor-equipped mass and exact tactile option
  • Delivered firmware and validated host architecture
  • Mechanical mounting and complete arm/tool load envelope
  • Independent task success, latency and delivered quote

Before enabling the full workflow

  1. Record 20-DoF versus 15-DoF explicitly in the order and configuration.
  2. Use the S-specific mode-selection instructions.
  3. Verify actual sensors rather than enabling a software flag alone.
  4. Replay known joint poses and test loss-of-command behavior.
