About
Alt-Bionics Surge was a humanoid robotic hand designed for research and teleoperation. It offered 6 hand degrees of freedom, direct-drive actuation, and a reported grip strength of 20 kg, positioning it as a compact manipulation platform rather than a full humanoid robot.
Publicly available details on Surge’s development timeline are limited. The model is described as discontinued, but the available record does not provide a reliable launch year or a clearly documented end date. As a result, its history is known mostly through its technical description rather than a well-documented product chronology.
