COVVI Unveils Cutting-Edge Robotic Hand Technology
The device offers human-like dexterity, offering hope for amputees and vast potential as a remote control limb for hazardous tasks.

COVVI, a UK-based leader in robotic prosthetics, has introduced a groundbreaking robotic hand capable of executing intricate tasks with remarkable precision. Known as the COVVI Hand, the multi-articulated device mirrors the movements of human digits and is already helping individuals with limb loss — including Ukrainian soldiers injured in combat.
Versions of COVVI’s robotic hand have been in development since 2017. While initially designed to assist prosthetic users, the company envisions broader applications for the latest model. Industries including manufacturing, science, and academia could benefit from the hand’s versatility and efficiency in performing complex activities.
Simon Pollard, CEO of COVVI, highlighted the potential: “Bringing COVVI’s advanced technology to the world of robotics as well as prosthetics has the chance to bring major advancements to the industry. Using a multi-articulated hand not only improves and upgrades existing robotic setups, but also means fewer people will be exposed to hazardous situations. With the launch of COVVI Robotics, we know that we can transform industrial and learning settings around the world”.
The robotic hand offers operators an impressive range of control options and precision. It features pre-programmed grips for specific tasks while also allowing users to position all five fingers independently. Meanwhile, teleoperation enables remote control capabilities, making it ideal for high-risk environments.

COVVI also says the hand can seamlessly integrate with existing robotic arm systems. The upgrade will allow organizations to replace basic grippers with a more advanced tool, expanding the capabilities of existing robotic setups and enabling them to tackle more sophisticated challenges.
Certified to meet ISO 9001 and ISO 13485 standards, the robotic hand also adheres to strict requirements for safety, reliability, and effectiveness. With COVVI continuing to develop its already sophisticated technology, the company has the potential to transform not just the lives of amputees, but also shake up scientific and manufacturing processes worldwide.
