Product
The Allegro Hand comes with its own version of Wonik Robotics'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.

CAN Interface
The CAN Interfaces supported by AHAS out-of-the-box include:
- National Instruments' (NI) USB-8473s High-Speed CAN
- Softing's CAN-AC2-PCI
- Kvaser's PCIcan 4xHS

Note: A CAN Interface is not included with the Allegro Hand. If you need some guidance while choosing one, please feel free to contact us.
Power Supply
A power supply designed specifically for the Allegro Hand.
Case
A hard plastic carrying case can also be purchased for storing and transporting your Allegro hand.
Paired with our RoboticsLab development environment, the user can take full advantage of robust dynamics and system control engines as well as out feature-rich controls SDK. RoboticsLab also enables users to easily model custom robots and test environments in 3D and add built-in and custom sensors, actuators and other dives. RoboticsLab provides the flexibility necessary to prototype and test control algorithms for any system.
Wonik Robotics provides the Allegro Hand and RoboticsLab separately. The cost of RoboticsLab is 10,000 USD for academic use (one license). RoboticsLab is a complete robotics research framework that allows the roboticist to model and control robotic system simulations and actual hardware in hard realtime. RoboticsLab provides you with SDKs full of tools for creating advanced but user friendly applications for developing and verifying your system. It also includes a robust and adaptable control SDK to help you focus on your specific application rather than low level controls. Fully integrated, RoboticsLab is the easiest way to get the Allegro Hand up and running with your own controllers and allows the seamless integration of any sensors or robotic arms you may add to the system in the future.
