Compare the three platforms.

Load ratings carry their basis: maximum and rated figures are not directly comparable, so we do not rank them. Dimensions are withheld until the delivered hardware revision is confirmed.

Hand families: a parallel gripper is two-jaw gripping for defined objects; three-finger hands (Unitree Dex3-1) grasp dexterously; five-finger hands (BrainCo Revo 2) allow human-like grasps. Tactile variants are listed for some packages. Load figures differ in basis, so a larger number is not a ranking; your hand, grasp, and posture can lower limits. Thetic has not yet validated these platforms, and U.S. supply and lead time are confirmed per quotation.
