Double Giken announces the ultra-compact Motor-in-Finger actuator "D-Drive Module (DDM)" that realizes a human-hand-sized multi-finger robot hand

▤ Summary

Double Giken has launched D-Drive Module (DDM), a compact motor-in-finger actuator for humanoid robots and multi-finger robot hands. The module combines a slotless BLDC motor, planetary gear reduction, closed-loop control, and feedback functions in a very small package. The company says it already uses the module in its D-Hand 5MT robotic hand and plans to expand it into humanoid robots, prosthetics, exoskeletons, and R&D applications. This release creates a hardware-adjacent robotics component opportunity for developers and integrators working on advanced robotic hands and embodied AI systems.
