The Cartesian Hand: In-Hand Manipulation with All-Linear Fingers

arXiv · AI, language, vision and robotics · article · Sep 22, 2026 · UTC

Robotic manipulation has increasingly pursued human-like dexterous hands with many articulated degrees of freedom, offering rich manipulation capabilities at the cost of mechanical and control complexity. At the other extreme, parallel grippers are simple and robust, but provide little ability to manipulate an object after grasping it. Operating articulated objects such as threaded containers, manufacturing tools, and laboratory instruments often requires a second gripper, an external fixture, or coordinated arm motion. We introduce the Cartesian Hand, a 7-DoF end-effector that rethinks dexter
