Aero Hand Open: A Simulation-Ready Tendon-Driven Hand for Dexterous Manipulation Learning

Aero Hand Open is a tendon‑driven, anthropomorphic hand designed for affordable, simulation‑ready dexterous manipulation. The release includes a realistic simulation model of the cable transmission, an identified actuation map that links motor commands to joint motions (including thumb coupling), and a reinforcement‑learning package that trains policies entirely in simulation. These components enable policies to run on the physical hand without fine‑tuning or state estimation.
