Across the Lite lineup, fingers are progressively removed to cut size and mass, and the Extra Super Lite designation describes a configuration positioned beyond Extra Lite and alongside the Super Lite options — an even lighter, further-reduced hand for labs that want a compact dexterous end-effector. The design keeps Shadow's core philosophy of emulating human hand motion with multiple joints per digit and an opposition-capable thumb, while trading maximum finger count for lower weight and simpler deployment. The system is described as self-contained, integrating actuation, control electronics, and sensing into the hand and forearm assembly rather than relying on large external actuator packs.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe DHSL is well suited to mobile manipulation, payload-limited robot arms, and research testbeds where end-effector mass and inertia can degrade reach, speed, or stability. It is typically deployed as an end-effector on research or industrial arms, or used standalone, and inherits the platform's electrically actuated architecture for controlled, repeatable motion and grip forces in a compact package. EtherCAT communication supports deterministic control loops for dexterous manipulation experiments, while ROS integration pathways enable modular software for planning, perception, and simulation. Because DHSL is a Lite-variant configuration, exact finger count, actuator count, and weight should be confirmed per package and revision using the manufacturer's datasheet and quotation.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Shadow","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":50212963942637,"sku":null,"price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0803\/2613\/1949\/files\/shadow-robot_1_4d8460ac-6c84-4917-a03b-fc801ec0bcea.jpg?v=1783160302","url":"https:\/\/robotixmarket.co.uk\/products\/shadow-dexterous-hand-extra-super-lite-dhsl-reduced-finger-research-hand","provider":"Robotix Market","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
