CLAVIR
Robotic Platforms

Hardware built to seek contact.

Most robotic hands are engineered to execute motions precisely and to treat contact as a disturbance. Our platforms are built the other way around: to make contact readily, sustain it safely, and expose what happens during it. They are the instruments our research runs on, and the designs are released so others can run on them too.

The CLAVIR Hand

A dexterous hand designed around sustained contact — the first pillar of Contact Intelligence realized in hardware.
