Allegro Hand V5
The Allegro Hand V5 is a dexterous research robotic hand developed by Wonik Robotics (South Korea), based on technology from KITECH. The flagship 16-DOF configuration features 4 fingers with 4 independently current-controlled joints each, driven by DC motors with per-joint torque sensing. It weighs 1,050 g, operates at 24 V / 120 W, communicates over CAN at 500 Hz, and can mount to UR5e, UR10e, Kinova, Franka, and KUKA LWR arms. Each fingertip includes a 360-degree omnidirectional pneumatic tactile sensor. It ships with a ROS2 driver and supports MuJoCo and Isaac Gym simulation. Over 180 research institutions use the Allegro Hand platform.

Wonik Robotics raises 350B KRW to build humanoid mass-production facilities
Wonik Robotics has secured 350 billion KRW (approximately $253 million) in growth equity funding led by South Korea's National Growth Fund to establish mass-production facilities for humanoid robots and robot hands in Wanju, North Jeolla. The company, which supplies its self-developed Allegro Hand to major firms like Nvidia and Meta, plans to build a robot-hand production plant and AI transformation centre while developing core components in-house to address the 70% hardware cost bottleneck attributed to actuators and robot hands.
Seoul moves to clear path for robots to deliver, park in apartment complexes
The Seoul government is moving to ease regulatory barriers preventing the deployment of robots in apartment complexes through a proposed special law. The new rules would allow robots to perform tasks like sweeping, delivering packages to residents, and parking cars. The move aims to support the commercialization of robotics in South Korea by relaxing building and parking regulations that have slowed adoption.
