The Dexterous Torso, designed by Energid in collaboration with Cinvestav, is a humanoid torso with two hands, a waist, and independently directed camera eyes. With two three-fingered hands, it can lift 400 grams in cooperative actions.

With two additional degrees of freedom at the waist, the torso has the property of redundancy and bifurcation which enables placement of either hand at a desired position and orientation within its workspace in an unlimited number of ways. Combined with Energid's Actin-SE, it can exploit both redundancy and bifurcation while optimizing other criteria.

Mechanical Structure: 24 DOF including two four-DOF grippers, two five-DOF arms, a four-DOF head, and a two-DOF waist. All arm axes can be controlled simultaneously.
