开源低成本机械手ORCA实现人手级灵巧操作,一天内组装完成。
ORCA: An Open-Source, Reliable, Cost-Effective, Anthropomorphic Robotic Hand for Uninterrupted Dexterous Task Learning
- 17自由度绳索驱动设计,集成触觉传感器,八小时内可完成组装。
- 连续运行超1万次(约20小时)无故障,支持零样本仿真到现实的强化学习。
- 适合机器人灵巧操作研究者,尤其关注低成本高可靠性的团队。
通用机器人应具备与人类相当的灵巧性和敏捷性,以完成多样化任务。人形外观还可利用大量人类手部交互数据集。然而,灵巧操作的主要瓶颈不仅在于软件,更在于硬件:接近人手能力的机械手通常价格昂贵、体积庞大或需企业级维护,限制了其在科研和应用中的普及。我们提出开源的ORCA机械手,一种可靠、类人、17自由度的绳索驱动机械手,集成触觉传感器,总材料成本低于2000瑞士法郎,组装时间少于8小时。其关键设计包括可弹出关节、自动校准和张力调节系统,显著降低复杂度并提升可靠性、精度与鲁棒性。我们在多种任务中评估了该手的表现,涵盖遥操作、模仿学习及零样本仿真到现实的强化学习。此外,其耐用性经受住超过10,000次连续操作(约20小时)而未出现硬件故障,唯一限制是实验持续时间本身。设计文件、源代码与文档详见 https://srl.ethz.ch/orcahand,视频演示见 https://youtu.be/kUbPSYMmOds。
原文摘要 · Abstract (English)
General-purpose robots should possess human-like dexterity and agility to perform tasks with the same versatility as us. A human-like form factor further enables the use of vast datasets of human-hand interactions. However, the primary bottleneck in dexterous manipulation lies not only in software but arguably even more in hardware. Robotic hands that approach human capabilities are often prohibitively expensive, bulky, or require enterprise-level maintenance, limiting their accessibility for broader research and practical applications. What if the research community could get started with reliable dexterous hands within a day? We present the open-source ORCA hand, a reliable and anthropomorphic 17-DoF tendon-driven robotic hand with integrated tactile sensors, fully assembled in less than eight hours and built for a material cost below 2,000 CHF. We showcase ORCA's key design features such as popping joints, auto-calibration, and tensioning systems that significantly reduce complexity while increasing reliability, accuracy, and robustness. We benchmark the ORCA hand across a variety of tasks, ranging from teleoperation and imitation learning to zero-shot sim-to-real reinforcement learning. Furthermore, we demonstrate its durability, withstanding more than 10,000 continuous operation cycles - equivalent to approximately 20 hours - without hardware failure, the only constraint being the duration of the experiment itself.
