The Allegro Hand comes with its own version of SimLab's Allegro Application Studio (AAS), a robotics software for developing and testing control algorithms for a variety of commercial robots. AAS for the Allegro Hand includes a customized kinematics/dynamics simulator based on RoboticsLab. Algorithms developed can be applied to the virtual hand as well as directly to the real hand with and changes to the code.

Purchasing Options

CAN Interface

A pre-reconfigured CAN interface can be purchased along with the Allegro Hand. The CAN interfaces available through SimLab include:

  • National Instruments' (NI) USB-8473s High-Speed CAN
  • Softing's CAN-AC2-PCI
  • Kvaser's PCIcan 4xHS
  • ESD's CAN-PCI/266


Protective Case

A hard plastic carrying case can also be purchased for storing and transporting your Allegro hand.
